Winter at Old Sturbridge Village

Winter is a magical time to visit the Village, when fresh snow blankets the Common and the Countryside. Bring your skates or try out one of our reproduction sleds, even ride on a horse-drawn sleigh on snowy weekends. Then warm up with cozy indoor offerings.

Fall - Winter - Spring - Summer
