Membership

Whether it’s a home cooked, sit-down dinner inside the kitchen of an 1860s house, browsing through decades old school photos, or an exciting stroll through 60 acres, there is always something happening at the Manitowoc County Historical Society.

When you visit the Manitowoc County Historical Society, you’ll have stories to tell that will last long beyond your visit. Membership is the best way to experience all that we have to offer, allowing for great savings and incredible opportunities.

There’s always more to do, see, and learn, and members see it first.

For questions on membership, please contact our Engagement Manager at (920) 684-4445 or email GuestServices@ManitowocCountyHistory.org.
