The property itself would be mostly wheelchair accessible, however some of the buildings might pose difficulties, and the second floors impossible. All things considered, a person in a wheelchair could still enjoy almost all of what there is to enjoy at Old Sturbridge Village.

Some parts are accessible but buildings wouldn't be, I walk with a cane and some buildings are not easy for me to go through because of narrow stairs or tight quarters. The grounds are nice and people do walk around in period costume, usually will talk to visitors .

The whole place has dirt roads that are uneven, you could try using a wheel chair but it may be hard to push or maneuver it.

The visitors center is fully wheelchair accessible. The paths around the village are packed dirt/gravel. Some of the buildings are wheelchair accessible, most are not as they actual historic buildings that only have stairs and/or narrow doors and hallways. The buildings that house the firearms, textile, clocks, and lighting exhibits all have ramps and are accessible.

I would not recommend taking a wheelchair on less its powered dirt and gravel very hard to push

There is a lot of dirt and gravel paths which may be difficult depending on the model of wheelchair. Also, and entry to most buildings requires 2-3 stairs.

The whole site is dirt roads, but almost all of the buildings are wheelchair accessible. There are a few exhibits upstairs which have no elevator access, but you'll be able to see a vast majority of the museum.
