Nazareth Village is an archaeological open-air museum that shows farm life in the Galilee like it could have been in the first century AD. The reconstruction chronology is as follows.

Phase I: Archaeology:
Beginning in 1997, Nazareth Village commissioned several archaeological excavations of agricultural installations – a wine press, watchtowers, terraces, and quarries – discovered on a hillside less than 500 meters from the original site of Nazareth. These installations were established as dating from the Early Roman Period, making the site itself an historical treasure, preserving invaluable links with the farming and building traditions of First Century Nazareth.
