Nestled in a quiet corner of Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, Massachusetts, Storrowton Village Museum is an authentic recreation of a 19th century village, consisting of nine historical buildings assembled around a traditional Green. Storrowton's antique buildings were purchased from various Massachusetts and New Hampshire locations, dismantled and reconstructed here to create a village such as our forefathers built on hills, crossroads and along rivers. This restored village is named for the late Helen O. Storrow of Boston and Lincoln, Massachusetts.

Mrs. Storrow was on the Board of Trustees of Eastern States Exposition and as Chairman of its Home Department, she organized displays and exhibits which represented the old and new in the area of homemaking in the 1920s. While working in this capacity she first had the idea of bringing authentic Early American buildings to the grounds for the Home Department displays. Between 1927 and 1931, Helen chose buildings which had been abandoned or were scheduled for demolition and she personally purchased and provided funds for the restoration of the buildings on land provided by the Exposition and called it the "New England Village."

We cordially invite you to step back to another era and visit Storrowton Village Museum, a permanent reminder of New England life in bygone days. A tour of Storrowton offers an intimate look at Early American living. Climb the granite steps of the Meetinghouse, take a lesson in the one-room schoolhouse, stop in at the working blacksmith shop, and visit the farm house where aromas from open-hearth cooking still fill the air.
