Leave your devices behind and get OUTSIDE this April vacation week! Explore the outdoors while hunting for hidden letterboxes on properties conserved by Opacum Land Trust and local historical sites beginning Saturday, April 18 and ending Sunday, April 26. Are you up for the challenge?
What is letterboxing? It’s like a treasure hunt! Follow clues to find hidden letterboxes, collect stamps in your logbook, and enter to win prizes.
How it works:

Form a team with your family, your friends, your book club, or even your dog – EVERYONE is welcome to participate!

Register your team to receive a set of clues to letterboxes hidden on up to 13 different properties conserved by Opacum and local historical sites. There will be letterboxes for all abilities – clues will include an estimated distance and difficulty so you can choose challenges that are right for you.

Letterboxes will be hidden on properties and historical sites in Brimfield, Holland, Monson, Southbridge, and Sturbridge.

Each letterbox you find will have a rubber stamp, ink pad, and logbook inside. You bring a logbook with you (any notebook works!). When you find the letterbox, stamp the stamp in your book to prove you’ve found it.

Complete at least 3 boxes between April 18th and April 26th to be entered in a drawing for a prize.

Find more boxes? Get more entries! 5 or more boxes = 2 entries, 10 or more boxes = 5 entries.
At the end of the week, submit a photo of all of the stamps that you’ve collected to be entered into the drawing.

Best of all, it’s FREE!!!

Dragoon, Musketeer, Prisoner: The Hessians of the Revolutionary War in Western Massachusetts
2026-04-23 19:00 - 21:00 | Publick House, 277 Main Street, Sturbridge, 01566
The Sturbridge Historical Society presents “Dragoon, Musketeer, Prisoner: The Hessians of the Revolutionary War in Western Massachusetts”, by Dennis Picard on Thursday, April 23, at the Publick House
Were the Hessian soldiers of the Revolutionary War period blood thirsty mercenaries purchased by King George III to fight in the rebellious colonies? Or were they draftees and recruits in a foreign land? On Thursday, April 23, 7:00 PM at the Publick House, join Dennis Picard, a “living history” interpreter, to learn more about this poorly understood chapter in the American Revolution. Even though there were no battles during the Revolution in Western Massachusetts, there were, in fact, Hessians here. Many of these troops passed through the area after their surrender at Saratoga and several worked as POWs on area farms. Hear how these men got to our area, why they were here, who they really were, and in the end, why some stayed.
Dennis D. Picard has been a museum professional in the “Living History” field for over forty years. He began his career at Old Sturbridge Village and worked there for twelve years filling various positions including “lead interpreter” where he researched and designed many public programs that are still offered by that institution today. He was the director of Storrowton Village from 1990-2017. He also is the recipient of various grants that allowed him to serve as project coordinator for research and implementation of programs and events at different sites. Since his retirement he has enjoyed his role as consultant historian/independent scholar. Dennis has presented various programs to the Sturbridge Historical Society, and is always a popular speaker.
This program, graciously hosted by the Publick House, is free and open to the public.

Yankee Ingenuity
2026-05-02 09:30 - 17:00, 2026-05-03 08:00 - 17:00 | Old Sturbridge Village, 1 Old Sturbridge Village Road, Sturbridge, 01566, United States
Yankee Ingenuity begins this May with a series of weekend programs exploring New England’s long-standing role in shaping American innovation. Throughout the month, local makers, small businesses, and community partners will be featured alongside historical interpretation, illustrating how the region’s economy has long been driven by creativity, skill, and practical problem-solving. Organized around four themes—Eat, Move, Play, and Work— this event connects everyday life from the Revolutionary era through the 1830s to the present, highlighting the businesses and industries that continue to sustain the region today.
Yankee Ingenuity: EAT | May 2 & 3
The first weekend of Yankee Ingenuity begins with EAT. Culinary tradition and food production have long been a foundation of New England life. Amelia Simmons’s American Cookery (1796), America’s first cookbook, will be brought to life on hearths similar to those used in her era. Guests will witness the recipes and techniques that defined early American cooking, featuring distinctly regional ingredients like cornmeal, pumpkin, and cranberries that set American cuisine apart from its European roots.
Yankee Ingenuity: MOVE | May 9 & 10
The challenge of transporting people, goods, and equipment has been an area of constant innovation in New England. From the ox to the horse, from the canal boat to the railroad, each advancement shaped how commerce flowed and communities connected. Discover how the region’s geography and economic needs drove creative solutions to the age-old problem of movement, transforming local trade into networks that reached across the nation.
Yankee Ingenuity: PLAY | May 23 – 25
All work and no play was not the case for New Englanders, who brought the same ingenuity to leisure as they did to labor. From hand-crafted games and intricate puzzles to folk crafts and outdoor pastimes, residents found creative ways to fill their free hours. These diversions weren’t just entertainment, they reflected the values, skills, and social bonds that knit communities together during an era of rapid change and growth.
Yankee Ingenuity: WORK | May 30 & 31
Like most of America, during formative years of the country, New England was starved for workers, which led to groundbreaking innovation and mechanization. The Industrial Revolution can claim a large part of its American origins right here in New England, where water-powered mills, interchangeable parts, and factory systems transformed how goods were made. This drive to do more with less labor didn’t just change the economy, it reshaped the landscape, the workforce, and the very nature of American work.
