Yesterday, I took my Monday Farmer’s Market helper (aka my nephew) to a place in Massachusetts called Old Sturbridge Village.  We had a really nice time and only visited maybe 1/3 of the whole site.  It is pretty huge and it took two hours just to walk through that 1/3 we were able too see.   The Village takes you back to everyday life of rural New England in the late 1700s and early 1800s.

We went on a 15 minute boat ride on the Quinebaug River, saw sheep, chickens, cows, and pigs.  We watched cheese being made, logs being made into boards at the saw mill and wool being prepared for spinning.  My dear friend back in IL who homeschools would LOVE this place as an educational experience.

Since we were only able to visit such a small amount, it really was all very interesting, I think we might go back next Monday.  The Village offers free reentry within 10 days of purchasing tickets!
