Old Sturbridge Village is a 200-acre time machine that transports visitors to the early 1800s. The Northeast's largest living history museum is a place where the routines and rituals of a 19th-century New England community play out day after day, season after season. Did you know that you can even celebrate Thanksgiving at Old Sturbridge Village?

Join me on a photo tour of Old Sturbridge Village, then plan your own visit to yesteryear.

If you can hardly wait for Christmas, head to New Hampshire. Santa's Village, an enchanting family amusement park, reopens this Saturday for special weekend dates of magical (if chilly!) fun through December. I'll take you to Santa's New Hampshire headquarters on this photo tour. If you're good, you might even catch a glimpse of the bearded guy himself.
