Field of Flags Returns to Old Sturbridge Village OSV campaign to honor veterans returns for eighth year

Sturbridge, M.A. – Field of Flags returns to Old Sturbridge Village in 2022, a campaign designated to honor and recognize the men and women in active duty or those who have served in the U.S. military. Each year, OSV builds a field outside the Visitor Center from Memorial Day through Labor Day, adding flags to the lineup with every donation received. Flags stand as a tangible reminder of the service and sacrifice of our American heroes, often donated in honor of a friend or loved one.

For $25 per Flag, public can add to the OSV Field of Flags while on-site or via an online donation form. Donations help provide free standard daytime admission to Old Sturbridge Village for members of the U.S. Military, Reserves, National Guard and their families – including active-duty personnel and veterans alike (up to six attendees).   Names of individuals remembered with gifts to the Field of Flags campaign are posted on a physical Honor Board outside of the Visitor Center and listed online at: https://www.osv.org/field-of-flags/. Donations to the campaign can be made at: https://10797.blackbaudhosting.com/10797/AF-Flags.     In November, Old Sturbridge Village recognizes Veteran and Military Families Month with red, white and blue stars bearing the names of loved names lining OSV’s covered bridge. Stars can be purchased as part of the Field of Flags campaign, for an additional $10 per star on top of flag donation. ###
