Historic New England relies on its members and friends to provide important funding support, which enables the organization to make New England's heritage available and enjoyable to all. With your generous support, our New England history will never grow old.

Through individual, foundation and corporate giving, Historic New England is able to maintain its current initiatives and develop fresh offerings in five key program areas:

Historic Properties – Visitors to our thirty-six house museums and landscapes experience the lives and stories of the individuals and families who made New England what it is today. These properties span four centuries of architectural styles and five New England states.

Collections – Historic New England's collection of more than 100,000 objects is the largest assemblage of New England art and artifacts in the country. The collection is used in exhibitions and educational programming, to help our audience better understand the heritage of New England through the possessions of those who lived here, and to appreciate the ingenuity, craftsmanship and style of the region.

Archives and Publications – Visitors and scholars have access to more than one million items that document New England's architectural and cultural history. The archival collections include photographs, prints and engravings, architectural drawings, books, manuscripts, and ephemera.

Educational Programs – Historic New England school programs have received national attention for the innovative approach they use to teach history, incorporating the stories and objects of the people who made their communities what they are today. They learn how, by understanding our shared past, we build a better future. Historic New England offers museum field trips, Programs to Go! (in the classroom), out-of-school-time programs, and educators' resources.

Preservation Services – Historic New England also provides resources to homeowner's of historic properties, with a shared goal of protecting the unique character of historic properties throughout the region.
