OSV Claims Record January
By Matthew L. Brown
Old Sturbridge Village reported that last month, it had its best January attendance in 10 years.
January attendance at the recreated colonial village museum increased 23 percent to 4,016 over January 2007, and village administrators say the strong month could be an introduction to "one of our best years of the decade."
A mix of warm, indoor activities and outdoor events like sleigh rides and ice harvesting, as well as the reopening of the Oliver Wight Tavern, attracted visitors, museum administrators said.
Over the past two years, the museum has brought in about $4 million in grants and donations.
