CELEBRATING the PEOPLE

At New England’s largest living history museum, meet the families, farmers and artisans who lived and worked in rural New England in the formative, first decades of our new nation. Experience the triumphs, trials and textures of everyday life in the 1830s – a period driven by agriculture, industry, family and the seasons. Find relevance from their stories, put your hands on history and be inspired. Old Sturbridge Village… More than a museum.
