"Old Sturbridge Village is a living museum located in Sturbridge, Massachusetts which recreates life in rural New England during the 1790s through 1830s. It is the largest living museum in New England, covering more than 200 acres." From Wikipedia.
I first visited this village in 1976, in February, with snow on the ground! Then, I was living in Virginia, and came home for a visit. My husband, then boyfriend, just had to see this place. (See photos below.) We've been back a few times in better weather, including this lovely May 2012 day. Everything was blooming, especially the lilacs. This is a great place to visit with children, although I believe many from the area provably take school trips here. Christmas time is especially festive, check out their website.
