Home School Day at Old Sturbridge Village

Travel: People and Goods in Motion  

Tuesday, September 14, 2010
at 9:30 AM - 5:00 PM

During this Home School Day, OSV offers you and your children the opportunity to gain exposure to early 19th century travel and transportation. During the Village period, America became enamored with travel.  New technology and the opening of roads, canals and railways allowed for easy access and rapid movement between one place and another.  People and goods came and went from all over the world.  Join us in exploring these revolutionary changes! 

Take time to ride the stagecoach and boat! Children will also have the opportunity to complete a Village scavenger hunt to receive a prize.  Craft center activities will be available and are priced individually at $5-10 per person.  Also, take part in our hands-on activities and participatory programs.  Registration is required for hands-on studios and Village Classroom programs - registration will open on August 16.  http://www.osv.org/activities_events/event_calendar_more.html?ID=507&DateID=1131 Transportation-inspired demonstrations, games and performances will also be offered. 

Wondering about the weather?  Here is our policy.We request that parents remain in the Studio space with young children and in the Museum Education building when older children are in a Studio.  It is our recommendation that each child is registered for no more than two studio activities.
