Our color-magnitude diagram extends from near the red giant branch tip to as faint as ∼5mag below the main-sequence turnoff. From an analysis of these data along with published photometry for M67, we draw the following conclusions: (1) From the UBV two-color diagram, we find a reddening of E(B-V)=0.04±0.02 for M67 and E(B-V)=0.09±0.02 for NGC 188. (2) Based on main-sequence fitting to solar abundance isochrones, the distance moduli turn out to be (m-M)v=9.69±0.11 for M67 and (m-M)v=11.44±0.08 for NGC 188. (3) The comparison of the CMDs to theoretical isochrones indicates that an amount of core convective overshoot equivalent to 0.10 of a pressure scale height is appropriate for M67, while no overshoot is required to fit the CMD of NGC 188. These isochrones suggest that NGC 188 is 3.0±0.7 Gyr older than M67. (4) There is a clear indication of mass segregation in both M67 and NGC 188, with the most massive stars (M/M>1.1) being more centrally concentrated than those that are the least massive (0.8≥M/M>0.65). Description: The observations of NGC 188 were obtained during two separate runs (1995-09-13 and 1996-10-21/22) on the 0.9m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory using the f/7.5 secondary; a 2048x2048 pixel Tektronix CCD (T2KA) was used producing an image scale of 0.68"/pix and a field of view of 23x23' centered on the cluster.
