Membership is one of the most meaningful ways to support Preservation Worcester and shape the future of our city through advocacy, education, outreach, and community engagement.

Since our founding in 1969, Preservation Worcester has been a grassroots organization driven by people who believe Worcester's historic buildings and neighborhoods matter. What began as a small group of residents interested in learning more about the city's past has grown into a vibrant membership community working together to celebrate, preserve, and strengthen Worcester's unique character.

For more than 50 years, Preservation Worcester has helped connect people to the city's rich history while advocating for the places that define our community. Our work contributes to vibrant neighborhoods, economic vitality, an improved quality of life, and a stronger sense of place for current and future generations.

When you become a member, you become a partner in this mission.

Membership dues and annual donations provide nearly 50% of our operating budget, directly supporting the advocacy, education, and preservation initiatives that shape Worcester's future. Your membership helps sustain our small but dedicated staff and ensures that we can continue serving the community for years to come.

Whether you are joining for the first time or renewing your commitment, your support makes a difference. Together, we are preserving Worcester's past while building a stronger future.

A variety of membership levels are available, and memberships may also be purchased as gifts for friends, family members, businesses, or organizations.
