Our Story

Photos

Brenna and Victoria have been close friends since beginning 7th grade at Ursuline Academy together in the fall of 2007.  They love attending concerts together, having seen a variety of different artists and venues over the years.  Brenna loves photography and a great party, so be prepared for her to bring the excitement and fun to the group!

Maya and Victoria have been close friends since Maya arrived at Ursuline in the fall of 2008.  She quickly became an incredibly important person to Victoria and Brenna.  This is, in large part, due to her energy, unmatched personality, and unwavering friendship.  Maya is a big fan of salsa dancing, so expect to see her dancing all night long.

Travel and Accommodations

From www.osv.org: "Old Sturbridge Village, the largest outdoor history museum in the Northeast, depicts a rural New England town of the 1830s. Step inside more than 40 original buildings, and explore homes, meetinghouses, a district school, country store, bank, working farm, three water-powered mills, and trade shops – all situated on more than 200 scenic acres. Talk with authentically costumed historians and see heritage breed farm animals.... Unlike traditional history museums, Old Sturbridge Village encourages guests to put their hands on history—to see, hear, feel, smell, taste, experience and fully immerse themselves in our nation’s past."

Treehouse Brewery was founded in 2011, in a small red barn in Brimfield, MA. These days, their primary location for brewing, roasting, and distilling is in Charlton, MA, just 10 minutes from The Publick House Inn. Billy's father, Bill, loved Treehouse - so much so that Bill and Maureen would make the 3 hour round trip out to Charlton and back multiple times a year. While the Charlton location typically has a large variety of beers, seltzers, and cocktails available, we recommend the classic Julius (Bill's favorite).

The Sturbridge Flea Market is three levels of indoor shops and consists of over 150 dealers. The market is open year round, Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 5pm.

The Town of Sturbridge encompasses almost 30,000 acres, making it one of the largest towns in Massachusetts in terms of land area. Approximately 20% or about 6,000 acres are dedicated open space, consisting of land owned by the town, state, federal, and conservation organizations, as well as lands protected by conservation easements or the purchase of development rights. Sturbridge’s natural historical setting—along old Indian paths and early transportation routes midway between Boston &amp; New York— has impacted its history, development, and future. It brings beauty and opportunity for enjoyment to those who visit the area.
