Membership and Annual Giving

The lifeblood of any vibrant museum is its membership. Members provide direct support for our exhibits, educational activities, and public programs. In return they enjoy the benefits described below. Membership lasts for one year; you may join at any time. All membership gifts are fully tax-deductible.

Donations to the Annual Fund, above and beyond the cost of membership, help offset the cost of such essential budget items as staff compensation and the ongoing maintenance and enhancement of our historic building. Like membership gifts, Annual Fund donations are fully tax-deductible.

To become a member or to make a donation to the Annual Fund, click on the button below or call Teta Hilsdon at 802-257-0124, ext. 101.

If you choose to give online (it’s fast, simple, and secure), please use the “How you would like your gift allocated?” prompt to let us know whether you’d like your gift applied to membership, the Annual Fund, or both.

Thank you!
