Old Sturbridge Village (OSV) in Sturbridge, MA has got to be one of my favorite outings on our trip. Of course, it is hard to pick a favorite! The day was beautiful, blue sky, perfect weather! All the buildings are actual buildings from the 1830s and had been moved to this setting and reconstructed.

We are now on our way home and will be there in 3 days. It will be good to get home again! We had a fabulous trip!!
I love Old Sturbridge village, too! It's been a while since we went, but definitely on the list to do again.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I went there several years ago and thought it was amazing - such a treat to look back into our history and see the way it really was. blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteMore great pics! The area looks so totally pristine, and the foliage is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOur area may green up a bit; 2.75" rain fell in my yard the past 24 hrs., and temps today are to be in the mid 70's! Just in time for your homecoming; maybe it will last! Travel safely! ---"Love"
I used to be a volunteer at a Heritage center near my home. I wore dresses of the 1850s-60s, which I made from reproductions of patterns of actual vintage dresses.

I've been there several times - it's amazing to step back in time. Have a safe trip home.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures. Would love to see it all in person. Just one thing, no period dress for me (love it but I think I would be a sweat puddle in 5 minutes). ;)
ReplyDeleteSafe travels.
