Last week I took the Amtrak train to visit my son and his family in Northbridge Massachusetts. One day we went to the Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge Mass. This is a living history museum of life in Colonial times in rural New England, from about 1790 to 1840. Here are some of the things we saw. I could post so many photos, but this is one of those places a person just has to see to appreciate. The costumed character actors there do a good job portraying life in the Colonial times, and there are also many museum buildings holding collections of clothing, quilts, utensils, clocks and glassware, etc. from the times.
