This Friday, Old Sturbridge Village will be offering $5 admission for visitors who arrive before noon.

This will be the third “$5 Friday” of the year. According to the museum, the discount is a way to offset today’s high gas prices by making the museum more accessible for those on budget. The discount applies to adults, seniors, and children ages 3-17. As always, children 2 and under get in for free.

“The first two $5 Fridays in April and May were very well-received by the many visitors who were able to take advantage of the deal.
