STORY OF THE STORY OLDthe new STURBRIDGEVillage 2007a challenge,an adventure and a love story ANNUAL REPORT good day!

“It’s definitely 2007 an adventure! may go down in history, our history, as the year Old Sturbridge Village We are re-energized and became the new Old Sturbridge Village (OSV).It’s been a year of finding satisfying solutions to unexpected problems, a year of hard work and ready for the future. teamwork, a year of critical challenges and rewarding triumphs. Old Sturbridge Village is back and better than ever.” Before I arrived at the Village in 2007,OSV faced a daunting situation: declining attendance, inadequate funding, an overworked staff, mounting maintenance costs and so much negative press that many thought we were in danger of closing.

Led by Chairman Bruce Moir, the OSV Board of Trustees took decisive action, made some crucial decisions and laid the foundation for the Village’s renewal. Today, we are building on that foundation and magnifying the many positives that make Old Sturbridge Village one of the oldest,largest and most cherished living history museums in the country.

More than We are a New England icon – so beloved by schoolchildren, families, 21 million grandparents and others, that the name “Old Sturbridge Village”instantly people have brings a smile to their faces. I am happy to report that we are once again visited the the go-to destination for tourists and visitors who want to enjoy and Village since experience our early New England living and history. our founding in 1946. In our computer-driven society that is increasingly sedentary and experiencing a frightening “nature-deficit disorder,” a visit to the Village provides a 200-acre natural playground where kids can run and play, pet our lambs, pick our apples, plant vegetables, plow fields and catch fish, all while learning what it was like to be a kid in an earlier time.

To assure that OSV will always be this vibrant and dynamic place, we asked ourselves some very hard questions: Can we achieve more with less? Can we reverse years of declining attendance? Can we reintroduce OSV to a new generation? Can we reengage our members? Our donors? Our sponsors? Can we re-energize our employees, upgrade our exhibits and tell the world that Old Sturbridge Village is back, open for business, and better than ever…

The answer was: yes we can… Jim Donahue yes we did…and it all started President and CEO with a challenge… the Village challenge

“i knew we needed it now, I had faith that it would inspire others to give and I always believeda brighter there would day be for the Village.”

By September, an upward trend was clearly evident. For the past 10 years, Old Sturbridge Village had posted a 7 percent average yearly decline in attendance. For the third quarter of 2007, we not only stopped that “We visit every year; in fact my 10-year-old daughter requested we decline, we also posted an additional visit during spring vacation…This year we noticed more activities 6 percent gain – a swing of 13 percent. for children…We didn’t have time to do all the things we wanted to do (even though we got there early and stayed until after 4:00).

“We love showing the everyday things of everyday life. we get down to the nitty-gritty and teach history up close and personal.”

Why is your hat so tall? Do you live here? How did the dirt get on the carrots? Did they have radios in the 1830s? What do the oxen eat? Do cows sleep standing up? Where’s the refrigerator? How did you make that dress? Did you really beat the eggs with birch twigs? Were people really shorter back then? Do you dress like that all the time? What do you do for fun? Aren’t you hot?”...

Meticulously researched and maintained by our curators, the collection is the best of its kind in the world.We are proud to have loaned artifacts to Colonial Williamsburg, Mount Vernon, the National Gallery of Art and the National Heritage Museum for period exhibitions.Among our most popular events for collectors are our “Take a Peek” behind-the-scenes tours and our Collector’s Guild events, like the 2007 “Evening of Illumination.” a favorite event

It’s not all about the kids. In 2007, we also hosted training workshops for more than 800 teachers from all over the country.

Everywhere I go, I hear,“Oh, I love Old Sturbridge Village! I went there on a field trip when I was a kid.” As a lifelong educator, I know that children During peak learn with their hands, their hearts and their heads. field trip When they learn by doing something interesting, season, as many they remember it far longer.That’s why the Village as 2,000 kids is a great place to teach children about history and participate in more.

To keep those buses rolling in, and to increase our educational outreach in the schools, we hired a new director of museum education, and reopened and reinvigorated our 14-studio Education Center, where “doing” is what we do. Students learn spinning, weaving, carding wool, printmaking, hearth cooking, and woodworking, and then go outside to Cara Wales, OSV learn about archaeology and agriculture – to press Education staff cider and help with farm chores like threshing corn and feeding the animals.

This year our teachers have also taken our “History on the Road” program to more than 60 schools. For many inner city students, Old Sturbridge Village is their first glimpse of rural farmland.

A s I close out four eventful years as Chairman of the Old Sturbridge Village Board of Trustees, one phrase seems especially salient and timely:“It’s the end of the beginning.”

And what a beginning it has been—2007 was a year of rebirth and renaissance for Old Sturbridge Village with much-needed valuable and visible improvements. But the foundation of this progress started well before the year began, and the gains we made will continue well beyond the year’s end.

Coming into 2007, the leadership of OSV had to make some pivotal decisions – the most important of which was the hiring of Jim Donahue as CEO. But even before his arrival, we had to make some swift and decisive moves to put the Village back on track.

We were determined to improve the visitor experience, starting with a massive project to upgrade and refurbish our buildings and exhibits.This was an obvious need and we knew that it would be key to the survival of the Village. We had to move ahead quickly and find the money somehow. And thanks to the courage and generosity of our supporters - we did.

For those of us who love OSV and are committed to its success, the past few years have been a test of our imagination and character, our grit and perseverance.

At Old Sturbridge Village, we protect and preserve a way of life that would have disappeared, if not for the foresight of the museum’s founders, and the hard work of our historians, curators and interpreters.

It’s been an exciting ride, and I look forward to the future with pride and confidence.
