Old Sturbridge Village
1 Old Sturbridge Village Road, off Route 20 508-347-3362A little rain cannot put a damper on the experience of visitors to historical village
Rain does not dampen the spirits of visitors to Old Sturbridge Village, where 40 historical buildings, costumed historians, a lively assortment of heritage-breed animals and hands-on experiences have combined to re-create a classic New England village of the 1830s. And there’s plenty to do indoors! See how cider was made in the cider mill, watch lumber being turned out at the sawmill, help the tinsmith create an intricate lantern or the printer put together a must-read paper. Walk through homes both simple and ornate, check out the graffiti carved into the original desks in the schoolhouse. Have lunch in the Bullard Tavern or an amazing pastry in the Ox & Yoke Cafe. Check the website for the day’s schedule and information on special exhibitions.
