Visitors can explore, touch, try new things, and be part of the action. Hands-on fun is at the heart of everything we do. Ride the stagecoach, learn to plow, make crafts, dip candles, and help the printer, potter and blacksmith at work.
Children can dress in 1830s costume during Discovery Adventures, week-long day programs (formerly called Discovery Camps).
Old Sturbridge Village is a living, breathing, vibrant village depicting life in New England from 1790-1840. Visitors can meet historians in costume and tour 40 antique buildings, including a country store, school, and water-powered mills.
Our collection of more than 50,000 artifacts made or used in early New England includes quilts, clocks, pottery, and fine furniture.
At our 19th-century Freeman Farm, historians demonstrate farm work through the seasons: planting, harvesting, milking cows, churning butter, and cooking over the hearth. Visitors can meet our heritage breed sheep, oxen, chickens and pigs.
Heirloom gardens include a 400-plant Herb Garden and 19th-century style kitchen gardens, a children's garden, and a formal pleasure garden.
