Thank you Southbridge Lions Club for your generous donation to the Optical Heritage Museum. Your support helps us continue educating our students and visitors from around the world of the rich history of Southbridge - aka "The Eye of the "Commonwealth"

A BIG THANK YOU to all that came out to support the Optical Heritage Museum 's Murder at the Museum Mystery Dinner last night! It was a HUGE success because of YOU! Many found us through the great digital marketing efforts of Aliveah Stoddard (Ali Mac Consulting) who brought the event to all social channels and helped us make it a sell out event! Thank you Ali!
Needless to say, the performance could not have happened without the magic brought by the ladies of Moon Magick Café by Chey and the Gateway Players! Kathi, Chey, you and the actors killed it! Figuratively and literally!
Gabriel McCarthy, the Cannery was magical. Thank you for bringing all the good vibes and giving us the perfect venue for the murder. And Richard B. Whitney the inspiration for it all! 🤣
We are grateful for all the support and the lovely people in our lives that keep us and the museum going. Thank you to the Southbridge Business Partnership and Southbridge Lions Club. Thank you for all you do!
We are blessed!
