Review of Old Sturbridge Village

Authentic 1780's - 1820's village. Very cool place to walk around and observe the different crafts, ways of life, and buildings of the time period. The pathways are mostly dirt and some buildings have been made accessible for wheelchair access. The demonstrations vary as some are very interactive and others are just reading signs. Most of the presenters are engaging even to the children. The Bullard Tavern is about midway and has a lunch if you plan it accordingly and the prices are reasonable. Plan to spend the day and wear comfortable shoes and prepare for the weather since a lot of it is outside. Disappointing that they charge extra for the coach rides, boat ride and stagecoach though. The movie is even more.
