Membership

Become a Member today!  Or, give the gift of Membership!

Our Members are the most important part of our organization.  Without them, we would not have an operating museum.  Without an endowment to operate from, we rely on ordinary citizens who support and believe in our mission to send in their membership fees which pays for things like electricity, gas, security and insurance.  These bills may not be as glamorous as sponsoring exhibits or programs, but without them, we could not do any of the fancy things that having an operating museum allows us to do.  So please help us keep our doors open by sending in your new membership application today, or renewing every year.
