Policies
For the Safety & Comfort of All:
- Please do not approach, touch, or feed the livestock. Animals are unpredictable; horns, hooves, and teeth may cause injury.
- Walk carefully -- Village roads and floors are like those of early New England.
- Some of our historic buildings cannot accommodate strollers.
- Smoking, eating, and drinking are not permitted in buildings.
- Please do not walk or climb on fences, walls, or trees.
- While service animals may be admitted to the Village, we regret that pets are not allowed in the Village.
Photography/ Videotaping and Commercial Activities
Photography in the museum is permitted for personal use only (please, no tripods). Please do not interrupt an ongoing activity. Commercial and press photography, commercial artwork, as well as other activities resulting in the creation of images from Old Sturbridge Village, are prohibited without prior written authorization from the Marketing Department. During your visit, authorized photographers, or videographers, may record your image to be used for Old Sturbridge Village publicity purposes.
