'Juneteenth' or Emancipation Day recognizes the June 19th anniversary of the emancipation of slaves throughout the Confederate South. Join us for a week long celebration of African American endurance and triumph.

Old Sturbridge Village recognizes Juneteenth (a celebration dating back to 1865 thought to be the first known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States) by telling some of the most inspiring stories in African-American history.

Visitors can learn about the movement leading up to the abolition of slavery that took place in the early 19th century and also enjoy activities and crafts with African-American themes.
