Good evening ♥
Tonight I wanted to share with you an
absolutely amazing organization that I
just discovered yesterday while
procrastinating at work (hehe):
Historic New England is a non-profit
organization whose mission is to collect
and preserve historic structures and artifacts
to help keep New England's history alive; it is
also the largest (and oldest) regional preservation
organization in the United States, currently
owning 36 historic properties and more
than 100,000 objects of historical importance.

What truly intrigued me about Historic New England
is their wonderful membership opportunities; standard memberships
is their wonderful membership opportunities; standard memberships
are available in a few different categories but generally include:
- free admission to all of their sites
- discounts on select institutions and regional businesses (including B&B's!)
- a subscription to Historic New England magazine
- discounts on online gifts, publications, admissions to programs
- access to exclusive members-only events
In addition to the standard memberships, they also offer
memberships with specific areas of interests; for example,
an Historic Homeowner membership provides you with
not only the general benefits, but also professional assistance
in helping you authenticate and maintain your historic home.
Other available areas of interest include: Garden and Landscape,
Friends of the Library and Archives, Young Friends
of Historical New England, and more.
I think this is such an incredible organization to become
a part of, particularly for New England residents (like
some of you!) who live in relative proximity to their
sites, and are close enough to attend some events!
Of course, that won't stop me from becoming a
member; I might just be crazy enough to drive
four and a half hours away to attend
one of their Christmas parties! :p

Oh, Erin. Nice post. Interesting organization! Do you think a house built in 1935 would qualify as historical? That's when ours was built. Take care and study hard but also have fun! Susan
