Sturbridge, MA

Started out as another cold rainy day with temps in upper 40's.  We almost decided to stay in camp but drove to Sturbridge anyway, about an hour's drive.  It rained on us all the way there but stopped just as we arrived.  Other than a little light mist we did not have any more rain all day and temps finally rose to about 60 by late afternoon.
Old Sturbridge Village is a recreation of an 1840's New England village. Most of the buildings were old buildings moved from elsewhere although a few were reproductions.
