Membership Benefits

Please Join Now – Your Membership is Key to Our museum!

Without contributions of time, money, and historic artifacts, the Chatham Historical Society would not exist. Your membership helps the Society run programs, maintain the Atwood Museum building and grounds, conduct research, and store and preserve local history, artifacts, and documents. Please join us to “Keep History Alive” in our community and preserve all that we value about our area. Our top-rated museum and nearly one-hundred-year-old organization needs your membership and support!

If you own a business and are interested in sponsoring the Atwood Museum and Chatham Historical Society, scroll down beyond the Membership section to see an outline of the benefits and sign up.
