Patriots' Day observances at Old Sturbridge will resound with the peal of bells, the stirring beat of drums and the thrilling call of the fife.

Special programs and activities throughout the day will invite visitors to experience the sights and sounds of our colonial ancestors, reacting with hasty alarm to action at Lexington and Concord.

How did the news of Lexington and Concord affect a small New England community?

For a day of history, entertainment and discovery, visit Old Sturbridge Village on April 18th as we celebrate our nation's beginning and continuing perseverance, in war and in peace.

And, as ever, the life of our village swirls and eddies about us.

The sheep, pigs, cows and oxen, the chickens and turkeys go about their busy work and play throughout the village, offering occasional photo ops, as do youngsters enjoying the games of yesteryear.

The housewives and their families, though war threatens their young country, are observing the rites of spring.

Important business is conducted among tradesmen and craftsmen.

Textiles and fashions and clothing offer a history lesson of their own.

Enjoy the harmony of historic purpose and achievement in our splendid springtime nineteenth century setting.

Patriots’ Day take place during Family Farm Fest at Old Sturbridge Village.

Visit with a variety of animals including cattle, lambs, goats, chicks, bunnies and piglets.

Compete in our Farm Yard Games, check out some antique tractors, and listen to bluegrass music.

Visit with Teamsters from around New England, meet their Oxen, and learn about the animals that powered 19th century agriculture.

Laura Ingalls Wilder will also be with us on select days!
