Located in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, Old Sturbridge Village is a living museum which seeks to offer a portrait of rural life in New England from the 1790s to the 1830s. Their collection of archival materials contains over 60,000 artifacts made or used by rural New Englanders. A healthy selection of these items are available for viewing on this site, and visitors with a penchant for material culture, folkways, and American rural history will be find much to keep themselves occupied here. First-time visitors to the site may wish to read the brief overview offered here and then click on through to the "Online Collections" tab. Here visitors can perform searches across the entire collection or just view one of the 14 thematic collections offered in this area. These collections include "Ceramics and Glass", "Fine Art", "Foodways", and "Native American". The "Foodways" section is quite a find, as visitors can look over a nice selection of sauce pans, kettles, and a rather elaborate step stove.
