    Similarly to today, early 19-century New Englanders used products to help achieve a desirable hairstyle. One common additive was animal fats, such as bear grease. Rendered and perfumed, these fats were combed into the hair to help make it shiny and hold a fashionable style.

    Maple can also refer to a New England staple – maple syrup! Of course, early 19th-century New Englanders usually made maple sugar instead of maple syrup because sugar kept longer. You can come and see the entire maple sugar process during Maple Days, select weekends in March.

    L is for…Lantern! Many visitors are enamored by the punched tin lanterns made in the Tin Shop at Old Sturbridge Village. The holes are punched outward, which lets light through but prevents wind from extinguishing the candle flame within.
