Membership Policies 

Wenham Museum memberships are designed to make visiting easier, more affordable, and more welcoming for families, grandparents, caregivers, and frequent visitors. 

Memberships are valid for one year from the date of purchase and become active once payment is processed. 

All adults and children using membership benefits must be listed by name on the membership. Memberships may only be used by the named individuals on the account and may not be shared between households. 

Caregivers are welcome. Family 4 and Family 6 Members may add an Additional Caregiver for $40. 

Need to update your membership? Names on a membership may be changed by contacting the Membership Office. Name changes are intended for household or caregiver updates and may be reviewed by staff. 

Additional members may be added to eligible memberships for $40 per person. Senior/Grandparent and Dual Memberships are not eligible for additional-member add-ons. Members may also upgrade to the next membership level to include more named individuals. 

Members may visit the Museum during regular public hours by checking in at the front desk. Staff may use membership cards, digital records, member lookup, or photo identification to confirm active membership status. 

One membership card is included with the member welcome letter. Additional membership cards may be requested for $10 each by contacting the Membership Office. 

Membership benefits, discounts, guest passes, and reciprocal benefits may not be combined with other offers unless otherwise stated. 

One-time-use guest passes have no cash value, may not be replaced if lost, and may not be applied toward membership purchases, birthday parties, programs, or other fees. 

Membership admission benefits do not include school field trip visits, group visits, birthday parties, facility rentals, special ticketed events, or programs unless specifically stated. 

Memberships are non-refundable and non-transferable. 

Membership dues are not tax-deductible. Wenham Museum membership benefits have a fair market value equal to or greater than the cost of membership, so membership dues do not qualify as a charitable contribution for tax purposes. 

Wenham Museum reserves the right to refuse or revoke membership and/or deny admission without refund for noncompliance with Museum rules, membership terms, or inappropriate conduct.
