Membership
Being a member of the Coos History Museum has its perks! We have joined the North American Reciprocal Museum Association. Museum members who join at the Friend-level or higher will be rewarded with reciprocal benefits at 1,000+ institutions nationwide, including free or reduced admission.
Your new CHM membership card will feature a special NARM sticker/graphic that will provide you with free or reduced admission and museum store discounts just like when you visit us at home! It is truly a great deal and we hope you will consider taking advantage of it. If you have already renewed your membership at your old level and you would like to upgrade to qualify for the NARM benefits, just pay the difference and we will give you the upgrade.

Waterways is the quarterly publication of the Coos County Historical Society and sent to all members.
All membership subscriptions are for one year with no recurring payments. Your membership is effective when you receive your membership card and thank you letter in the mail.
