Happy Holidays in Sturbridge
November, December,
January & February
Textile Weekend at Old Sturbridge Village
 Early November
brings a two-day celebration of early 19th-century
New England needlework, featuring demonstrations, tours, hands-on
activities, exhibits of early American samplers, quilts, and other
textile artifacts, and afternoon tea with special guest lecturers.
And, a quilt challenge is underway - come see the quilts made by
Village staff and volunteers and members of the local guild,
Cornerstone Quilters, inspired by a circa 1840 quilt from the Village
collection. The quilts will be hung in the Visitor Center for this
weekend, with prizes to be awarded, including a "Viewer's Choice"
ribbon. For more information, call 1-800-SEE-1830, or visit

Thanksgiving Day Celebration at Old Sturbridge Village
 A New England Thanksgiving in the 1830s was, in some ways, much
like our own today. Visit the Village museum to see what was on the
holiday dinner table when today’s familiar traditions were forming
(for one thing, there was no waiting for the pies, they were served
right alongside the meats and vegetables!), and see what other
activities were customary at the time. For more information, call 1-800-SEE- 1830 or
visit
www.osv.org.
Spirit of the Season at Old Sturbridge Village
Enjoy
the sights, sounds, and scents of the season and explore the history
of Christmas traditions in the setting of a 19th-century Village. In
December, the Center Village is transformed by exhibits that tell how
Christmas came to New England. Capture the Spirit of the Season as you
stroll the festively decorated Village by day, escape
the bustle of the modern world, and experience the coziness of
candlelit houses and shops in the Center Village during special Friday
and Saturday evening programs -- Christmas Traditions
by Candlelight. Visit
www.osv.org for dates and times and further details, or call 1-
800-SEE-1830. Bring your skates and take a spin on the skating area
on the Common, then stop into the Miner Grant Store and Bake Shop for
some cocoa or hot cider to warm up. On weekends all month, everyday
during Family Vacation Week (Dec. 26-31), and on New Year's Day, enjoy
a horse-drawn sleigh or wagon ride around the Common.
