A Cross Country Odyssey - 2003
Sturbridge Village, Massachussets - page 1/3
Our favorite "living history" museum is Sturbridge Villag, MA.
This village recreates life in the area in 1830. It is really like stepping
into a page of the past when one visits there and the photo opportunities
are a photographers delight.
These three pages show a few of the photos the three of us took during our
one day visit there.

The clothes these girls are wearing are accurate for the period |
 These wood fired kettles are cooking dyes for coloring yarn. Natural pigments are used and the yarn is hand spun in the village. |
 These women are dying the yarn bundles. |
