Museum Memberships

Our work is driven by the support of our members.

The Central Sierra Historical Society & Museum is proud to continue its successful fundraising efforts—ongoing initiatives that have strengthened our ability to serve the community and preserve the stories of the Sierra Nevada. Over the past several years, the generosity of our supporters has deepened the cultural and educational experiences we offer to visitors and advanced our mission to illuminate the human and natural history of this remarkable region.

Our Society offers a variety of membership levels and benefits for individuals, families, and businesses.

With your investment, we can fulfill our mission to provide cultural and educational experiences to deepen the understanding of the human and natural history of the Sierra region. The Museum of the Sierra is a museum without walls inspiring future generations to nurture a healthy and resilient forest and community.
