June 17 Museum ABCs
\nGoats in the Museum @ 1:30 PM<\/strong><\/a>
\nThere are a lot of farm animals roaming the Bennington Museum in different works of art. Are the goats in a painting? In a photograph? Or even on a wall? They might be Billy Goats Gruff! We will find them, listen to\u00a0 stories about them, and make a goat friend to take home to add to your animal collections.
