Old Sturbridge Village

Old Sturbridge Village is the largest outdoor history museum in the Northeast. It is a replica of  rural 1830s New England. A school, bank, pottery shop as well as homes, meetinghouses, a country store, sawmill and blacksmithery are just some of the 40+ original buildings brought from towns throughout New England to the museum site… where they are restored so that authentically costumed staff can carry out the daily activities of the community.

I walked all over the village, listened to the blacksmith, and spent some quiet time in the church. I arrived late afternoon Thanksgiving weekend and had the Village to myself. While inside the old covered bridge I was able to photograph the light on the floor as it peaked through the cracks in the walls as I narrowly missed being runover by the horse drawn carriage.

OSV is truly a fantastic place to visit.
