On our way back from Connecticut and the US Open Tennis we pass right by Old Sturbridge Village so we decided to stop and tour; it’s a re-creation of old USA with transferred old buildings, town layouts … We saw pigs, sunflowers and cows; we saw the Tin Smiths, The Coopers, and the Saw Mill:
There is a lot to see and it is a very peaceful & relaxing place, so we decided to stay the night. Initially we booked an old fashioned room which looked nice but was FREEZING cold; the building had a single heating system for every room, and it was off. So we switched to a more modern room with heat – much more comfortable, if less characterful!
In the morning, we returned to Old Sturbridge Village again, and saw more of the “living museum” before eventually heading home.
