Old Sturbridge Village Holiday Alumni Gathering
New England alumni are invited to enjoy this cherished tradition together. We’ll begin the afternoon at the home of alumnus Paul ’69 and Kim Adams at 2:30 p.m. for sandwiches, snacks, and drinks before taking a short drive to Old Sturbridge Village for the tree-lighting ceremony and an evening exploring this beautifully preserved historic village.
Thanks to Paul and Kim, the first 17 alumni who register will receive free passes. Additional tickets may be purchased directly through the Old Sturbridge Village website.
Step back into the 1840s and experience the magic of Christmas with carolers, horse-drawn sleigh rides, festive décor, and live historical demonstrations. This beloved New England tradition is the perfect way to welcome the season with fellow Pioneers, friends, and family.
We hope you’ll join us for an evening filled with nostalgia, warmth, and holiday cheer!
