We went to Sturbridge village. We saw what it was like to live in America a long time ago. We saw people doing the wash and cooking. There was a woman who died yarn different colors with natural dyes she found from plants. There was a bank, museum, farm, school, and peoples houses. The houses were very small and had only 1 or 2 rooms. Then we had lunch and waited a long time in line for a horse ride. The ride was very short.
