Melinda in VT Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I assume you're interested in the U.S. only? Going from memory here, so spellings might be slightly off. MA: Plimouth Plantation, Sturbridge Village, Salem Village NH: Strawberry Banke CT: Mystic Seaport VA: Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestowne Settlement UT: Pioneer Village CA: Old Town San Diego I generally call them living history museums in the U.S. In Europe, they seem to be called open-air museums.

kah Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Another one: Cooperstown, NY- Farmer's Museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 There is another one in VIrginia in Staunton that focuses on different types of early American farms based on places of origin- Dutch settlers, English settlers, etc. St. Augustine Florida has a living history village. THere is an excellent one in the Alsace region of France. WE also went to another excellent one in the Netherlands. They are called open air museums in Europe. There is also a SHaker living history museum in Massachusetts or NH or maybe both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donovans4 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Here is another great place we visited in France last summer. The plan is to reconstruct a Burgundy castle using only medieval building techniques. http://www.newyorkcarver.com/guedelon.htm LauraD in MN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
