6 months agoMaple Sugaring Days! Delightfully fun time maple sugaring! We played various 18th century games, carved a spile, tapped a tree, watched the maple water run, tasted the maple right from the tree, learned more about the process, and got to take home some finished maple syrup. Beautiful location and friendly folks.

3 months agoI wasn't impressed. We got in for free since we're members at Old Sturbridge Village. We came on a day they were doing a Sheep and Wool Festival. There were a good selection of vendors and some demonstrations. The property seem to have one barn and one house. Unless there was more I wasn't seeing. Parking was in a grassy field and it was raining. There was so much mud cars were getting stuck.
