Old Sturbridge Village

(See Learn). Sturbridge's biggest draw, this living history museum promotes learning about the early 1800s through fun, hands-on activities. Great interpretive programs. Special and seasonal programs help people experience historical New England. There are reenactments of previous time period wars, as well as activities that were going on around the early 1800s. It is a great way to get the visitors involved as well as just allowing for a great show.

BT's Smokehouse
A BBQ joint right on the main drag. Incredibly popular, hard to find a parking space sometimes. They don't serve alcohol, but it is BYOB and there is a liquor store next door. BT's is that rare place that does all different meats justice and has a big selection: chicken, pork, two kinds of ribs, and brisket. Despite the crowds, it's usually not hard to find a seat and there are also a few tables outside.
