Old Sturbridge Village
Here's a special treat if you like to explore the past. This is a village put together by two brothers who wanted to preserve the 1790-1840 history of the area. It sits on the Quinebaug River near Sturbridge, MA and consists of 40 period buildings, with costumed Villagers plying their trades; bakery, blacksmith, sawmill, gristmill, merchantile, pottery, tavern, cider mill & farmsteads. They have a beautiful clock collection, wagon rides & river rides. The buildings were purchased over the years, dismantled & reconstructed in the Village. We can't believe that neither Pat nor Judi brought a camera into the Village, but at least we have the brochure :)

We've been there! I could never remember the name of the place! I think with my love of Medieval Faires I could live and work there. We loved that you could stand and watch a family in their home going about having a meal or chores just as if you weren't observing them. (I'd hate that part if I were them) It was fun. I'm SO jealous!
