History

Established in 1953.

Olde Sturbridge Village opened in 1946 and has put Sturbridge, Massachusetts in the national spotlight for being the largest New England outdoor historical town. Sturbridge Village preserves the town’s early 1790 — 1830 agrarian past and had plenty of early homes and buildings to visit.

Sturbridge Yankee Workshop’s history is intricately tied to the town’s milling past. Founded in 1953 in a 150-​year-​old mill in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, we moved to Portland, Maine in 1981 and have been furnishing homes ever since. We are proud to offer dozens of items that are inspired by our coastal location and, many (including Shaker furniture) are made right here in Maine.

If you’re looking for traditional home furnishings, as well as, seasonal decorative accents, Sturbridge Yankee Workshop is a one-​stop place for your decorating needs. We stand by our products and take pride in the tradition of providing world-​class service.
