Taking a Stroll at Old Sturbridge Village

ByMarian Pierre-Louis

Old Sturbridge Village recreates life in early New England from 1790-1840. There are 59 historic buildings on 200 acres. It is an interactive museum where visitors can speak to interpreters of that time period, view antiques, enjoy traditional gardens and see working farms.

If you are an historic home owner one of the best ways to learn about your home is to visit other homes of the same time period. Since Old Sturbridge Village recreates life from early America you can gain insight into how your home may have looked from furnishings to wallpaper and much more.

If you get a chance, take a stroll through Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.  Here are some photos from my trip earlier in the week.
