Members are Friends!
Become a “Friend” of Old Sturbridge Village and get the most out of your Village experience. Join for yourself or with your family. Come a few times a year or every few weeks.
When you become a member, we consider you a “Friend” of the Village. You are more than a visitor. You are a partner in our work, ensuring that our mission is fulfilled, and our nation’s vibrant history continues to inform and enrich modern society. You are a champion of museums, defending the cultural importance of museums as learning resources and places for us all to find meaning, pleasure, relevance, and inspiration. You are our legacy, allowing the Village to be a part of your life and working to help it flourish for those you love, across generations. You are more than a visitor; you are a “friend.”
