Recently, a Boston-based foundation (that prefers to remain anonymous) made a challenge to Old Sturbridge Village.  It would match all new and increased donations made to OSV before the end of our fiscal year -- Jan. 31, 2010.

• All new and increased gifts would be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $250,000
• Limited-time opportunity -- ending January 31, 2010
• The value of each gift to OSV would be doubled

I'm happy to say that we met the challenge -- raising $250,000, which was matched by the foundation.  Thank you -- we could not have done it without your help.

Visitation is up at Old Sturbridge Village, and so is our membership.  Investments in our campus and our family of costumed interpreters are making a difference.

We are looking forward to a great 2010, and we hope to see you soon at the Village.

Old Sturbridge Village CEO Jim Donahue
