Membership
Membership is open to everyone interested in supporting the history of Dorset, its environs and its people. The Society is expanding its collections, its programs, and its role in the community. Historical and genealogical research, preserving artifacts, increasing the number of exhibits, upgrading technical equipment and supplies and maintaining staff—all cost money. Tax-deductible memberships and contributions are the lifeblood of DHS. Members' participation makes a huge difference in the work and programs of the Society. Other benefits of membership include:

  • Reduced admission to other museums and historical societies that are members of the Vermont Museum and Gallery Alliance.
  • Tax deduction for contributions to DHS, a not-for-profit organization
  • Newsletters
  • Invitation to exhibit openings
  • Reduced prices on DHS Gift Shop items
  • Reduced rates on DHS programs that carry fees
