Old Sturbridge Village in January!

We ventured out to Old Sturbridge Village this afternoon and walked around to get some exercise. We stopped in a few areas that we never seem to get to when we're there -- and were pleasantly surprised! I loved the firearms and textiles exhibit.  I snapped a few pictures to share:

A view of the village as you enter ...

The village farmyards

A side view of the Fitch House

The church ...

One of the exhibits in the Firearms and Textiles building

Loved the hats that were on display and couldn't believe how small the uniforms were.
Men were definitely much smaller back then!

You're actually seeing two displays here ... the drummer's uniform and instruments are in front
 and behind that is a military muskets display ...

An example of one of the looms used to make cloth and blankets.

This was a really nice display of the various weaving patterns used and

what the actual written instructions looked like.

It was really a fun afternoon -- although much colder than we expected so we didn't stay too long. We love having a membership at OSV though and are planning to drop in frequently to get some exercise in such beautiful surroundings. 

Now we're home, have laundry going and are watching football. I'm heading up to the loft to work on the penguin hat I started yesterday (the hat part is finished - now I just have to put it together) and to maybe 

work on Dave's afghan that I started last October. It got put aside as I made two afghans as Christmas presents and I think he'd like me to get back to working on it. It's been pretty cold here!
