Affiliate Membership

AndironsThe Historic New England Affiliate membership category is designed for small to mid-sized historical societies and other proprietors of historic properties whose missions align with that of Historic New England. The program is open only to membership-based non-profit organizations. Historic New England Affiliates enjoy benefits for their organization and members, including access to best practices for preservation of their collections, landscapes, and properties.
