Membership

Sointula Museum members contribute to our success, and enjoy amazing benefits!

Becoming a new member or renewing a membership with the Sointula Museum is an essential way to support our mission and preserve the rich history of our community. As a non-profit museum, we rely on the generosity and commitment of our members to continue our vital work.

Your membership, whether individual, family, or lifetime, helps sustain our museum’s operations, ensuring we can provide educational programs, exhibits, and archival preservation. It allows us to maintain our archival storage rooms with temperature and humidity monitoring, safeguarding our community’s earliest known documents for future generations.

Moreover, your membership provides you with special benefits, including early access to special events and exhibitions. We are also working on developing a quarterly newsletter and membership reciprocals with nearby institutions.

For just $12 for an individual, $24 for a family (two adults and two children up to 18 years of age), or $200 for a lifetime membership, you not only contribute to preserving our history but also become an integral part of our museum’s ongoing story.
