As the Village grew, so did public interest in seeing history brought to life. The Village welcomed its one millionth visitor in 1957 and since then, many more programs, exhibits and special events have been added and refined in an effort to constantly improve the visitor experience. Through the decades, we have grown well beyond a collection of antiques in a bucolic setting, or even an assemblage of historic craft demonstrations. The "living village" has taken on a vibrant life of its own as a leader in the fields of museum education and living history interpretation. As we celebrate our own past as well as New England's early history, we continue to "make no little plans," as we look ahead to a long and bright future...
