About

During February school vacation week (February 19-21, 2025), we invite educators to visit the Village for free!* Enjoy the unique charm of winter in New England as you explore 200+ acres and 40+ historical buildings, chat with costumed historians, and watch demonstrations of 19th-century skills like pottery and blacksmithing. Teachers can also participate in drop-in, hands-on crafts, 19th-century school lessons, short tours of the Village, and talks with members of the Collections and Research team on these dates. Look for a table to sign up for these activities in the Visitor Center after you arrive. This is a great opportunity for teachers to acquaint themselves with all that the Village has to offer and explore how they might plan a field trip to the Village for their students! This week is also the start of Maple Days at the Village!

*Teacher must show a valid teacher ID card, paystub, or other proof of being a teacher, principal, or school aid at the Visitor Center to receive free admission. Offer valid for teachers only, not others in their party.
