Phantoms by Firelight at Old Sturbridge Village
Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, October 3 - 25, 2026, a legend awakens. As darkness falls over the Village, lanterns flicker, and fog settles across the landscape. A new story begins, and this time, you're written into it. You don't watch the story. You walk through it. Our 1830s village transforms after dark into the experimental world of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, where every fire-lit path leads to a scene where the story is still unfolding.
