For all the time I've been in MA, there are so many places I've never seen. Old Sturbridge Village was one. Cousin E was in Amherst this past weekend with husband C and son D (C is coaching soccer), and we arranged to meet at OSV yesterday. What a fun visit. We lucked out with the weather, which has been alternately humid or pouring rain and lightning/thunder. The weather set in later in the afternoon, but for the mid-day hours we spent walking around it was fine.
OSV is an interesting place, representing an early New England farm village. The workers are not hardcore about old-tyme speaking like Plimoth Plantation, which makes it easier to ask questions and understand the answers. We didn't see all the animals, but I understand they breed heritage sheep, chickens and pigs. D was very good for the first couple hours, but really, at 2-1/2, enough is enough. In another year I think he'll be totally into places like this. Meanwhile, it was so great to be able to see E and spend a couple hours walking around and catching up. I don't get to see her or any of the family nearly as often as I would like and I miss them.
