Tradition is a word synonymous with Old Sturbridge Village. While we represent many traditions of the 1800’s, it is rewarding to see a new idea become a tradition, too. Launched in 2010, our Field of Flags program provides free admission to OSV for active duty and retired military personnel and their families. Extending free admission through our Field of Flags program is one way we can honor the sacrifices of our military families – and provide a special family outing.

Your generous support will open the doors to Old Sturbridge Village for military families who have given so much to our country. Our goal is to plant 5,000 American-made flags in front of the Visitor Center this year. For every gift of $25.00, we will add one American flag to the field, and each flag will sponsor a trip to OSV for a military family.

Since this program has become so popular and is important to so many, we have become a Blue Star Museum for 2013.  A national program, Blue Star Museums offer free admission for all active duty military members, National Guard and Reserve military personnel and their families from Memorial Day through Labor Day.  While we are proud to be associated with the Blue Star Program, OSV has taken the extra step to expand our program year-round, and to include retired military personnel. 

Your gift will add another flag to the field, open the doors to OSV, and give the recognition and respect our military families deserve.
