Maple Days at Sturbridge Village


Old Sturbridge Village is open during the winter months with many seasonal programs and special events happening each week.
Included with standard daytime admission on select dates in March, guests can see the entire sugar-making process, from tapping the trees to “sugaring off,” and learn why maple sugar was more commonly used than maple syrup in early New England. Costumed historians will also cook period foods made with maple products and the tinner and cooper will make maple-related items. Maple Days go until March 9 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition, guests can stop by the Miner Grant Store and the Ox & Yoke Mercantile to purchase a variety of maple-themed items. Find maple syrup, maple candy, maple-themed books, maple-scented soaps and lotions, and more!
Additional winter season events include walking through historic buildings, engaging with our costumed historians, and seeing heritage-breed animals. Guests are encouraged to reserve tickets in advance for their date of arrival. Tickets and more information can be found online: https://www.osv.org/event/maple-days/
