- Old Sturbridge Village
- Step back in time and visit an early 19th-century American village at Old Sturbridge Village online. Old Sturbridge Village, the largest history museum in the northeast, is located in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. The Old Sturbridge Village website offers a taste of the daily work activities and community celebrations of a rural 19th-century town in authentic, “living-history,” fashion, through images and sounds from the village.
