Opening Celebration of the Allen Piggery
Old Sturbridge Village
Saturday, June 3; Sunday, June 4
Times: The official Opening Ceremony will begin at 10:00am on Saturday. The Village is open 9:30am to 5:00pm.

Join us to celebrate the newest old building at the Village: the Allen Piggery. Farmers built piggeries, or hog houses, as dedicated and efficient spaces in which to raise swine. The reconstructed Allen Piggery will officially open at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 3rd. Throughout the weekend, guests can see the pigs in their new home and explore a variety of pig-related topics throughout the Village, from livestock care and feeding to animals in stories and art to early 19th-century pork recipes and smoking techniques. Kids can enjoy a pig craft in the Bixby House too! Be sure to also stop by the Miner Grant Store and Ox & Yoke Mercantile for a variety of pig-related products like stuffies, books, and hats.

The Piggery will officially open at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 3, 2023.
Activities happen throughout the Village; The Piggery is located between the Pottery Shop and the Freeman Farmhouse.
