Become A Member of the
Wayne County Historical Society
Memberships are a vital contribution to organizations like ours. By becoming a member, or renewing your membership annually, you invest in our mission: to preserve and share local history. In exchange for your membership, we offer you Benefits and Discounts that we hope you will find valuable. Don’t forget that memberships also make a great gift!
First, choose one of three levels of regular membership.
-
SINGLE: 1 Person - $25
-
DUAL: 2 Persons in one household - $35
-
FAMILY / GRANDPARENT: At least 1 Adult plus all members of household up to 5 persons. Grandparent Option is included in the Family Level. This offers the same benefits of family level without the grandkids having to be part of the household.
