Lovely shots and thanks for including the historical info.
Thank you Cape Codder. Being from the Cape, have you been to the village? I grew up in Sturbridge
and only live about five miles away now. I'm at the village at least once a week for coffee with my re-enactor buddies.
I will be part of the militia Labor Day weekend for Militia Day.
The days’ events will include everything from cannon and musket demonstrations,
to martial music and sham battles, and even live firing of muskets at targets.

Both are beautiful shots. I wonder if coming closer and using a wide angle it would have made a difference.
Thanks for the comment camerapapi. Being from the Sturbridge area, I take many shots at the village including close ups.
As a re-enactor, I will be part of the village militia the weekend of September 2-3 for Militia Day. I usually have a small
camera in my pocket for those events.

Normally I don't like over saturated pictures but in this case it works well. Could see a picture postcard out of these, if people use them any more. Had to check the other day and ask how much a stamp was.
Very nice pictures.
Thanks Jim-Pops for the comment and the two thumbs up.

Yes, I have been quite a few times--first time as a field trip from high school. I really enjoy the old village.
