Old Sturbridge Village

Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, MA, is New England's largest outdoor living history museum with costumed historians at work on farms, in trade shops, and in charming 19th century homes. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, many of the homes and shops are still closed. But there were a few trade and farm workers to talk with and answer questions about what life was like in 1830. We had been to Old Sturbridge Village years ago and it was sad to see much of it still closed. Hopefully it will be fully open soon and we can return to "normal" life, whatever that is. Still, we were glad to have been able to visit at all. Their website does have 3D virtual tours and virtual videos which, while nothing compares to being there in person, does still keep the history alive. 

These pictures are from online images. I took lots of pictures while we were there but my cell phone decided, for the 2nd time in its short existence, to wipe everything out and re-initialize itself. Hopefully my friends at the electronics store can restore all my information - photos, calendar, contacts, etc. But even if they do, its definitely time for a new phone!
