Everything but Ordinary

Local Attractions

Sturbridge is at the center of eleven towns that are filled with unique places and experiences collectively called the Sturbridge Townships. And if you're willing to travel a little bit off the beaten path, you’ll be rewarded with some pretty wonderful discoveries.

Sturbridge Townships have everything other places have, including dining, shopping, accommodations, history, and outdoor activities. But, like its scenic back-country roads, its offerings come with twists and turns to make them that much more interesting and unforgettable.

Experience the unspoiled four-season beauty of the rivers, lakes, hills, and forests. Enjoy the friendly attitude and sincere hospitality of its inn-, shop- and tavern-keepers. Be charmed by its town fairs and town commons. Or simply shake heads in amazement of the sheer diversity of what is found just around the bend — orchards, antique shops, maple sugar houses, farms, emporiums, just to name a few.

Experience this very special place. Plan a visit for a day, a weekend, or longer. See that the Sturbridge Townships are not just places on a map. They are places in the heart, and that is what makes them everything but ordinary.
