Family History Patron Level at $100
As the name implies, this level is designed for the family historians (genealogists) seeking ancestors who lived in or adjoining the community of Newtown/Stephensburg. The benefits associated with this category include everything offered at the Family Level but also grant the recipient access to our local history databases and family history files housed at the Newtown History Center. Additionally, if participants are unable to visit the museum in person they will receive additional help from our officers and staff who will convey the relevant discoveries and research products to the patron by e-mail or the postal service.
Heirloom Society at $100
This level of membership is for those who feel an affinity for local antiques and historical material culture. The recipients of this membership level will, in addition to everything offered at the Family Level, receive special invitations to view new additions to the collections during limited gallery opening events prior to the admittance of the general public. All the income received from participants at this level will go exclusively toward our collections fund and will be used to purchase objects for the museum’s collection.
