Old Sturbridge Village, Sturbridge, Massachusetts
Providing a family and child friendly audit of this living history site. A
family and child friendly audit looks at how well staff interact with families,

hinder family attendance. Old Sturbridge Village's purpose is to provide modern
Americans with a deepened understanding of their own times through a personal
encounter with the New England past. The Village is a nonprofit educational
institution. Its collections, exhibits, and programs present the story of
everyday life in a small New England town during the years 1790 to 1840.
