Bring your students to Guilford’s historic Dudley Farm and experience life as it was in the late 19th century. Nestled in the heart of North Guilford, the Farm offers a hands-on journey into Connecticut’s agricultural and cultural past. Field trips to Dudley Farm immerse students in authentic farm life—exploring the historic Farmhouse museum, barns, and heritage gardens—while connecting history, science, and social studies to real-world experiences. From daily chores to traditional crafts, each visit helps students discover how families lived, worked, and thrived over a century ago.
During your visit, students will also explore the Quinnipiac Dawnland Museum, which highlights the history, culture, and traditions of the Quinnipiac people, the original stewards of this land. Through engaging exhibits and storytelling, the museum helps students gain a deeper understanding of Native life in the region before and after European settlement.
Together, these experiences provide a rich, well-rounded perspective on the people, practices, and cultures that shaped our community.
