Comments about Smart Destinations Old Sturbridge Village:

Go back in time to this beautifully created village from gathered buildings around the area. Think of it as a smaller more intimate version of Colonial Williamsburg. From livestock to tinners, the interaction was everywhere. You could immerse yourself into the time period and feel as if you lived over 130 years ago. Could easily spend 2 days here, we did not get to see it all. A must if you are anywhere near this area. Worth the trip out of Boston.
