Spring Overnight: Adventure at Old Sturbridge Village
March 29-30th at 5:30PM
We are excited to invite you to our annual spring time overnight event: Adventure at Old Sturbridge Village. The night in the Museum is an exciting (indoor, see link) overnight adventure designed specifically for scouts. Armed with just a map and a tattered journal, young scout historians will journey back in time to the 1830s for a mysterious, candlelit quest. Along the way, they'll sharpen their detective skills by hunting for clues, conducting experiments, and uncovering secrets of the past. The adventure continues in our hands-on learning laboratory, where scouts will explore historic crafts and gain insight into 19th-century life.
This event is limited to 80 participants (youth and adults), with priority given to scouts. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, so spots are limited. If the event reaches capacity, we will contact families from the list to discuss options.
