Old Sturbridge Village respectfully requests a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support the development of a new Interpretation and Education Plan. Old Sturbridge Village, located in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, is one of the nation’s oldest living history museums and has depicted 19th century rural New England life through costumed interpreters, historic homes, curatorial exhibitions, and educational offerings to an audience of more than 21 million visitors since opening in 1946. The Village’s training and resource materials have not been comprehensively reviewed or significantly revised since the 1970s. Throughout this project the Village will work with scholars, consultants, and partnering institutions to develop a new Interpretation and Education Plan that creates impactful visitor experiences, connects with a modern audience, and better reflects the diversity of our community both past and present. |

OOld Sturbridge Village, a history center and outdoor museum of rural New England life, seeks support from the National Endowment for the Humanities for an implementation project, Back to Our Roots: A New Vision of Farming and Rural Life, aimed at creating a new integrated approach to the visitor’s experience and understanding of New England agriculture, rural life and rural landscape in the years of the Early Republic, 1790-1840. Three major exhibit venues will be created in buildings that are part of OSV's historical environment: Introduction to Farming at the Fenno Barn; Farmers and Markets at the Towne Barn, both on the Village Common; and a new Learning Center, housed in a museum-built service structure in the Village's Countryside area. The project will also upgrade and revise some existing exhibit signage in coordination with the new exhibit approach and create a family brochure/guide to farming and farm life. |

her intern to assess the condition of 450 items of historic clothing housed in
hanging storage, as well as the purchase of some rehousing supplies. The textiles, in addition to the sizeable
material culture collection held by the living history museum, document the
daily lives of rural, inland New Englanders from 1790 to 1840. While current exhibits focus on the 1830s, the
museum collection and library holdings encompass artifacts that further the understanding
and interpretation of early 19th-century life more broadly, reaching an
estimated 250,000 students, families,
tourists, and scholars every year.
Old Sturbridge Village's nationally known Museum Collection
encompasses approximately 60,000 objects made or used in New England between
1790 and 1840. The 6,500 object collection of textiles and clothing is the
second largest subset. Objects housed in hanging storage include men's and
women's outerwear and dressing gowns; women's gowns, dresses, and petticoats;
and men's shirts, vests, tailcoats and jackets, and militia coats. This project
will enlist the expertise of an outside consultant to perform a conservation
assessment of approximately 450 historic garments and the museum's current
storage inadequacies and develop a plan for targeting immediate and long-term
storage rectification within the collection of hanging textiles.
Recommendations for future targeted conservation efforts will be outlined and
focus on garments to be displayed as part of a comprehensive exhibition on
fashion and textiles scheduled to open in 2018.

and the purchase of rehousing supplies for preservation of 300 historic
costumes dating to the 19th century. Opened in 1946, Old Sturbridge
Village is one of the earliest living history museums in the United
States. The costume collection that is
the subject of the proposed project consists of gowns, capes, cloaks, uniforms,
and bags, documenting everyday life in rural New England prior to the Civil
War. It was identified in a recent
assessment as a high priority for rehousing, due to its fragility, and is used
frequently for research, education, and exhibits on 19th- century
textile production.
The scope of this project is to build on the textile conservation assessment that was generously funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities at the end of 2016 and carried out in March 2017. A Preservation Assistance grant from NEH will allow the Village to 1) purchase archival garment boxes and acid free tissue to rehouse ten garments deemed most fragile by the conservation assessment, 2) construct hanging storage garment bags out of silk fabric for 299 garments, and 3) bring conservators from Museum Textile Services to conduct a textile conservation training workshop for staff and curatorial volunteers. |
