Membership
Members are the heart of the Historical Society
Membership is one of the best ways to get involved at the Historical Society of Cheshire County. In addition to knowing that they support the work of the Society, our members receive the following benefits:
- Subscription to the newsletter
- Invitations to special events and exhibit openings
- Free admission to the Wyman Tavern
- A 10% discount at our Museum Store
- Discounts on workshops, field trips, and lectures
- A $20 gift certificate to the Museum Store to all Sustaining Members

Lifetime Membership $1,000.00 (individual) / $1,500.00 (couple)
If you would like to support the Historical Society of Cheshire County
in perpetuity, a lifetime membership can make that happen. Lifetime
memberships are now available at a price of $1,000 for individuals and
$1,500 for couples. The tax-deductible contribution will go into an
endowment fund that is permanently restricted for operations. The
endowment fund will generate income at about 4.5% per year, or $45
per individual membership ($67.50 per couple). The income in effect
will cover your membership dues every year in perpetuity.
Lifetime members receive all the benefits of annual memberships:
Free admission to the Wyman Tavern
10% discount in the Museum Shop and exclusive member sales
Subscription to the Historical Society’s Newsletter
Invitations to exhibit openings and member-only events
Discounts on facility rentals, summer camps
The satisfaction of being part of a great organization

You might also be interested in joining about 100 people who have decided to become life members of the Historical Society of Cheshire County. Life memberships are $1,000 for individuals or $1,500 for couples. The membership fees go into a restricted fund and the income from the fund is dedicated to operations. This covers your membership dues in perpetuity, and you no longer receive an annual renewal notice. Life members receive all the benefits of annual members as well as a distinctive lapel pin with the Society’s logo.
