Inspire Your Child’s Curiosity Wander through the recreated historical Village and chat with knowledgeable costumed historians who bring the past to life. Get out of the house and see our gardeners’ preparing fields and gardens for planting, meet the new lambs, and see sparks fly in the blacksmith shop. Every corner holds a new adventure, and no two visits to OSV are alike. Enjoy Outdoor Family Fun Create lasting memories together with friends and family. Wander our trails, see the buds on the trees and flowers blossom, make a craft together, and enjoy quality time surrounded by the wonders of history. Join us during Connecticut and Massachusetts school vacation weeks for Family Field Days. Engage the Senses From the smell of food cooking over the open hearth to watching traditional crafts such as pottery, and enjoying a tasty Joe Frogger or famous chocolate chip cookie, we make history an interactive and engaging experience. Step into the Stories of the Past This year, as part of the commemoration of America 250 at the Village, every day has special thematic demonstrations and performances focused on the first fifty years following the American Revolution. Daily schedules are posted on our website a few days in advance.
