Tradition in Trades

On August 16, 2025,* Old Sturbridge Village will host the first Traditions in Trades: Artisan Showcase! This exciting new event aims to celebrate the craftsmanship of today’s artisans alongside our costumed historians, who will be demonstrating the trades and arts of early 1800s New England. We are curating a select group of regional artisans whose craftsmanship is of the highest caliber and whose work embodies the spirit and tradition similar to our own work here. The Artisan Showcase will provide a fantastic opportunity for you to showcase and sell your goods to a diverse audience interested in history, craftsmanship, and the arts.
