(STURBRIDGE, MA) - April 23, 2010: Moms get free admission to Old Sturbridge Village on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 9, and family events are planned throughout the weekend. Each mother will receive a free Village-made cookie cutter with historical cookie recipe, while supplies last, and a raffle ticket for a chance to win scented geraniums in a Redware pot made by OSV potters.

Children can meet the baby animals on the farm, and enjoy indoor crafts, including making block printed note cards for a Mother’s Day gift. Moms can gain insights on childbirth, raising children and running a frugal household from OSV costumed historians portraying Midwife Lucy Tucker and 19th century author Lydia Maria Child, who wrote The Mother’s Book.
