Titanic-Sized Membership

Did you know that 1 year from right now we will be in the midst of the biggest exhibit we've ever had at the Museum?  Titanic:  The Artifact Exhibition will be here from July 18-November 6, 2016.  What does this exhibit have to do with membership?  Purchase your membership anytime between now and the end of the exhibit next year and you can get into the Titanic exhibit for FREE. Most Museums require an extra admission fee of up to $15, but as a Museum Member you will be admitted for FREE.  Come back as many times as you want, it's still FREE.  Did I mention you'll get in for FREE?

What else will you get with your Museum membership? Let's stick with the Titanic-theme.  You'll be invited to a special members-only opening night.  You'll have an opportunity to join us for a Captain's Dinner where you will be joined by fully costumed actors portraying passengers on board the R.M.S. Titanic that fateful night.  You'll also be invited to special member-only events during the run of the show.

But that's a year from now, so what will the membership do for you in the present?  Good question!  Get your membership now and you are eligible to nominate and vote for the new inductees to the Lea County Cowboy Hall of Fame and attend the Lea County Cowboy Hall of Fame Banquet on November 7 where we honor the new inductees, scholarship recipients and the volunteer of the year.  You, of course, get free admission into the Museum and the current traveling exhibit.  You get a percentage off in the Museum Store, which features many unique gifts.  You can also receive a discount on a facility rental depending on your level of membership.

What's the best reason to become a member of the Western Heritage Museum and Lea County Cowboy Hall of Fame?  When you're a member, you're a part of something bigger.  You're a HUGE reason that the Museum does what it does.  You are our support system.  Without you we wouldn't be bringing such exhibits like Bonnie Moran's North Pole Village (this December), Wicked Plants (spring 2016) and, of course, Titanic (fall 2016).  We have so many more exciting exhibits coming up and they are all thanks to you.

Consider becoming a new member or renewing your membership.  If you have questions about becoming a member, please visit our website or feel free to give us a call.

As always, thank you for supporting YOUR museum.
