#291: Brimfield and Sturbridge (2nd Ed, pg 809)

Welcome to Old Sturbridge Village!


Old Sturbridge Village is the largest living history museum in the Northeast.
It is a re-creation of an 1830's New England community spread over ~200 acres with several dozen authentically furnished period buildings.



The church was one of my favorite buildings.


A sideview where you can see the cemetery as well.

We had fun playing the "olden times" games.

And bopping into all the shops and places of business to see the townspeople in their authentic 1830's attire.

And the animals were cool to see as well - horses, oxen, sheep.

Verdict: This was a nice little stop on our way to Boston and we all enjoyed it, but if you've been to other places such as Williamsburg, then you don't necessarily need to do this as well since they are similar in many respects.  Cost:  $28 for Adults, $14 for kids.  Cost savings are available such as going later in the day for half price or during certain times, they run specials where kids are free with a paying adult.  Allow ~2-3 hours.
