FiCom is funding a trip to Old Sturbridge Village, a living history museum with costumed interpreters showing aspects of life in a rural 1830's New England Village. Presented subjects include: Sustainable agricultural systems, low carbon food storage, blacksmithing, water powered manufacturing technology, metal working technologies, textile production (both small scale and factory based), localized monetary and trade systems, and many more. The trip will be on Friday October 23rd, leaving Hampshire at 9 AM, and returning to campus by 6:30 PM. The village typically has a $20 entrance fee, but this trip is free to all students, funded through the Blacksmith Guild, the Glass Collective, the Knitting and Crafting Club, and the Historical Reenactment Society. Travel will be by charter school bus, which means attendance is limited to 46 students. If you are interested in attending this trip, or want more information, contact Sjb08. Space is limited, so reserve your seat. Visit OSV.org
