Old Sturbridge Village


























































Tim and I did a little sight-seeing a couple weekend ago. We went to Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, MA. It is a "living museum" all about life in New England in the 1790-1840 time period. There are 59 buildings on 200 acres where you can meet people that are dressed for that time period and know many of the historical facts pertaining to that time. There is a working blacksmith shop, cobbler, water powered saw-mill, grist mill and carding mill as well as a print shop, tin shop, pottery maker, and cooper. We had a wonderful time (it sure was a lot of walking, though). I'm going to post some of the pictures from our day so you can enjoy some of the sights we saw.
