Give a Gift of Membership

Oklahoma Historical Society

This year, give the gift that is always the right size and never needs to be returned.  Give your friends and family a gift membership to the Oklahoma Historical Society.  Memberships make great gifts for the holidays, birthdays, anniversaries or any occasion.

Individual memberships are $35 and family memberships are $50.  The best news is that both are completely tax-deductible as a donation.  Consider giving everybody on your list the gift of Oklahoma History.

You may call the Membership department to give a gift membership at (405)522-5242 or 1-800-750-4090.  You may also mail in your gift membership. Download the form and mail it to:
