01 Why join

What membership means

Becoming a member says that you support the preservation of our rural heritage. Members are not spectators here. They are the reason the doors open on a Sunday afternoon and the reason a hundred-year-old instrument still has a voice.

  • Belong to the work

    Membership puts you among the restorers, hosts, researchers and neighbors who keep the Conklin collection and Hanover-Horton history going.

  • Sustain the society

    Your annual support funds the steady, unglamorous work preservation depends on, year after year.

  • Stay in the know

    Members hear about events, programs, collection news and chances to take part before anyone else.

02 Member benefits

What members receive
