Farmland is a Mega-Variety Farm: Part Children's Museum, Petting Farm, Play Park, and the Largest Exhibit of Rare Livestock in North America. Davis' MegaMaze is a 3-dimensional challenge that takes the traditional puzzle maze to a whole new realm. The MegaMaze consists of 3 MILES of pathways! The 14 acre attraction includes three footbridges that connect some pathways and pass over others. Informational quiz-boards are hidden in dead-ends and speaking tubes connect those who may need a little help to the maze master's tower. The maze is so large there is even a portable toilet half way through. Spatial awareness and problem solving are tested through dozens of choices and decision points. Atop the footbridges, guests may behold a great bird's eye view of the maze and surrounding farm. The Maze is shaped in the form of Celtic dragons, which the Davis' have named Cedric and Cecelia.

A visit to Old Sturbridge Village is a journey into the past during a very special period of our nation's history! In the years 1790-1840 a new nation took shape. In rural towns across New England, ordinary people worked to better their lives, build strong communities, apply new technologies, and define the meaning of democracy.
Year-round, you'll discover the allure of history with all five senses at one of America's finest museums. Expanded learning and hands-on opportunities for all ages are offered throughout the museum, which features a re-created rural 1830s New England town set on a historical landscape encompassing a Center Village, Mills Area, and Countryside.
The museum's new, indoor History Gateway, in the Visitor Center, includes "Kidstory" early learning gallery -- making connections with the Village for children and their families -- and "Icons of New England," a new interactive exhibit that introduces visitors to the history behind what makes New England the unique region that it is!
Also offered are "A Child's Life" in the Fitch House; meet the animals; children's dooryard, schoolyard, and indoor games; role-playing at the District School; as well as historical characters, walks, talks, and performances. Hands-on craft activities, artist- and craftsperson- in-residence programs, adult and multi-generational craft workshops, and spectacular seasonal events are planned throughout the year!
The Shops at Old Sturbridge Village (across from the Visitor Center) house an award-winning Museum Gift Shop, the New England Bookstore, and a Bake Shop. Village admission is not required for The Shops at OSV or the Herb Garden adjacent to the Gift Shop.
Village hours and admission rates change by season; visit our Web site, www.osv.org, or call 800-SEE-1830 to confirm.

The Quinebaug Valley Council for the Arts and Humanities, familiarly known as The Arts Center, is a membership association dedicated to perpetuating the arts and humanities in the area.
The association was formed in 1977 by a group of people concerned with the role of the arts and humanities in the lives of local citizens - before the days of the mandated local cultural commissions. As government funding for local cultural endeavors slowly disappears, the role of the Quinebaug Valley Arts Center again becomes more important than ever in our lives and the lives of our children.

Atop the footbridges, guests may behold a great bird's eye view of the maze and surrounding farm. The Maze is shaped in the form of Celtic dragons, which the Davis' have named Cedric and Cecelia.

A visit to Old Sturbridge Village is a journey into the past during a very special period of our nation's history! In the years 1790-1840 a new nation took shape. In rural towns across New England, ordinary people worked to better their lives, build strong communities, apply new technologies, and define the meaning of democracy. Year-round, you'll discover the allure of history with all five senses at one of America's finest museums. Expanded learning and hands-on opportunities for all ages are offered throughout the museum, which features a re-created rural 1830s New England town set on a historical landscape encompassing a Center Village, Mills Area, and Countryside. The museum's new, indoor History Gateway, in the Visitor Center, includes "Kidstory" early learning gallery -- making connections with the Village for children and their families -- and "Icons of New England," a new interactive exhibit that introduces visitors to the history behind what makes New England the unique region that it is! Also offered are "A Child's Life" in the Fitch House; meet the animals; children's dooryard, schoolyard, and indoor games; role-playing at the District School; as well as historical characters, walks, talks, and performances. Hands-on craft activities, artist- and craftsperson- in-residence programs, adult and multi-generational craft workshops, and spectacular seasonal events are planned throughout the year! The Shops at Old Sturbridge Village (across from the Visitor Center) house an award-winning Museum Gift Shop, the New England Bookstore, and a Bake Shop. Village admission is not required for The Shops at OSV or the Herb Garden adjacent to the Gift Shop. Village hours and admission rates change by season; visit our Web site, www.osv.org, or call 800-SEE-1830 to confirm.

As government funding for local cultural endeavors slowly disappears, the role of the Quinebaug Valley Arts Center again becomes more important than ever in our lives and the lives of our children.
