Old Sturbridge Village -- Slow Scrap

This past weekend we went for a ride to Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, MA which re-creates life in rural New England during the 1790s through 1830s. It is the largest living museum in New England, covering more than 200 acres (80 hectares). The Village includes 59 antique buildings, three water-powered mills, and a working farm. Costumed interpreters speaking in modern language help visitors understand 19th-century life. Some of the sights we saw were a potter, sheep and their herder, an old wooden covered bridge, horse drawn sleigh, blacksmith, bulls, chickens and more. We didn't get to take the river ride and check out some of the other houses as it was getting hot and humid. That will have to wait until Autumn when its cooler and the leaves are changing.

What a great rustic background you created here. My DH and I visited Sturbridge Village over 10 years ago. It was a very cold and rainy summer day -- not at all like the lovely day you had there!

I haven't been to Sturbridge Village in many years so I enjoyed seeing your photos. They brought back happy memories! I like the heritage style background you used, too. Delightful page.

Great photos and page, Carol. I really like your background and the colors you used. I've never been to Sturbridge, but have always wanted to and now I almost feel I have!
