About

A True New England Getaway

Explore Old Sturbridge Village’s 200+ acres and 40 historical buildings, chat with costumed historians as they work the tasks of the past, and be inspired by the stories of early 19th-century rural New England life. On any given day, see the blacksmith, potter, cabinetmaker, and printer at work, catch special music or storytelling performances, smell the aroma of food cooking over the hearth, learn how textiles are processed from raw materials to finished clothing, find 400+ heirloom plants growing in the gardens, visit with cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens, take a horse-drawn carryall ride, and so much more.

In 2023, Old Sturbridge Village was voted “Best Place to Play” in a survey contest sponsored by the Sturbridge Tourist Association.
