From The New England Council (newenglandcouncil.com):
“Old Sturbridge Village, in Sturbridge, Mass., was highlighted in the Worcester Business Journal for its transition to online programming in the wake of sudden closures. To continue interaction with visitors, Old Sturbridge Village has expanded its online offerings and educational materials. The museum now offers online lessons on playing 19th-Century board games, preparing a garden, and more. Read the article here.’’
Nice, but looking at something on a screen rather than in real life gets mighty tedious fast.
Old Sturbridge Village, New England’s largest living museum, tries to recreate life in rural New England as it was from the 1790s through 1830s. The 200-acre institution includes 59 antique buildings, three water-powered mills and a working farm. Costumed interpreters speaking in modern English help visitors understand 19th-Century life.
