Old Sturbridge Village, Living history museum in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, United States.
The museum spans over 200 acres with 59 authentic buildings, including water-powered mills and functional farms representing rural New England life.
The site originated from David Wight's farm in 1795, where his son's lottery winnings of $5,000 helped establish the initial infrastructure.
Costumed interpreters demonstrate traditional 19th-century crafts, agricultural methods, and daily activities throughout the reconstructed historical buildings.
The museum provides year-round educational programs, guided tours, and seasonal events with special rates for families and school groups.
Three water-powered mills continue to operate using the original millpond built in 1795, processing grain and lumber through historical methods.
