From 1926 to 2026, the building that houses the Old Colony History Museum has been at the heart of our community. To mark this milestone, we’re introducing a series of innovative programs and projects that honor our past while setting the stage for the museum’s future.

For 100 years, this building and its grounds have been a place where our community connects with its history. With your help, we can ensure that Church Green continues to welcome, inspire, and educate for the next century. 

Explore our campaign to preserve our historic building, expand access to education, protect irreplaceable collections, and bring local history to life for generations to come.

Our first initiative is a landscape redesign that will transform the museum grounds into a more welcoming, accessible, and environmentally sustainable space for our community.

With your support, we can create gardens that reflect our region’s history, improve access for visitors, and provide new opportunities for outdoor learning and gathering. You can view a detail of the plans below.

Take a 45-minute illustrated journey through a century of history inside the Bristol Academy building. Discover little-known stories, rare archival materials, and behind-the-scenes secrets that reveal the life of this iconic landmark.
