The Village comes altive through the dedication of our villagers, craftsmen, and performers, with demonstrations in candle making, blacksmithing, weaving, glass blowing, and more. Don't miss our full-contact joust and free-flying birds of prey!

Whether it's your first visit or you're a returning favorite, the best field trip in history awaits on Nov. 17, 18, and 19, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. each Student Day.
