Become a Member

Your membership is important.

The Adirondack Museum's success depends upon the generosity of members, supporters, and friends.

Membership dues contribute to the museum's tradition of excellence by sustaining our core activities. Through our world-class exhibits, outstanding programs, and special events, we provide the opportunity for visitors to engage in the stories of people who lived in the Adirondacks.

Membership dues ensure the museum's financial stability. The museum is a private, not-for-profit organization. While we receive some financial support from foundations and government agencies, receipt of these funds is not guaranteed.

Membership also connects you to a premier collection of artifacts, fine art, and archival materials, as well as a host of other benefits.
