The Northfield Historical Society has a diverse membership which includes families and individuals, seniors and businesses, people from Northfield and people from out-of-state. All members share their belief in the society’s mission, to connect individuals to the history of the Northfield area by collecting, preserving, and sharing its unique stories. They believe that this local museum serves a vital purpose in the community and they want to see the museum thrive for years to come.
If you share this belief, consider becoming a member of the Northfield Historical Society. There are basic and supporting memberships for the general public and a corporate membership structure for businesses. Dues are collected annually and are used to keep the museum operating seven days a week, 365 days a year. And remember, membership dues are tax deductible.
