The
Old Sturbridge Village was once a prosperous farm that belonged to
wealthy Massachusetts resident David Wight. Today, it’s one of the
area’s largest outdoor living history museums, reminiscent of a 19th
century New England community complete with
houses, shops, stores, and a meetinghouse.
Visitors will be charmed by this village, which is a lovely
place to explore on a pleasant day in eastern Massachusetts.
Kids will love visiting the printing office, tin shop, cider
mill, shoe shop, the old Thompson Bank, and the town pound,
where free-roaming livestock were kept until their owners could
be located.
Old Sturbridge Village is a great place to spend the day, but in
addition to the regular sites, kids can also sign up for the 2 and
3-day Discovery Camps that take place several times throughout the
year, where they’ll participate in activities indicative of a kid’s
life in the 19th century.
There’s a gift shop and bookstore on-site and the town of Sturbridge
offers plenty of eating establishments for hungry visitors.
