Set across 240 scenic acres along the Quinebaug River in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, Old Sturbridge Village is the largest outdoor history museum in the Northeast. The Village recreates a rural New England community from the early 1800s, with more than 40 historic buildings — including homes, farms, mills, shops, and meetinghouses — connected by dirt roads and pathways that provide a wholly immersive backdrop for gatherings. Founded in 1946, the museum grew from industrialist Albert B. Wells's collection of 19th-century antiques and tools. Costumed interpreters demonstrate period crafts and trades throughout the grounds, giving events here a sense of living history unavailable at most venues. The Village offers the 300-seat Brewer Theater for performances, lectures, and multimedia presentations, and a Museum Education Center for hands-on programming. On-site dining is available at the Bullard Tavern, a 19th-century-style gathering space, and the Ox & Yoke Café.
