Become a BCHS Member Today!
Memberships help support our mission, so please consider joining the BCHS family! We offer Student, Senior, Individual, Family and higher Donation levels. Memberships range from $15 to $1,000, with most in the $20 to $45 range.
​
Members get involved in other ways, too! We need many hands to produce our most popular events: Cemetery Walk, Hair-Raising History, and Christmas Cookie Walk. Events such as Cemetery Walk and Hair-Raising History all require lots of research. If you enjoy doing historical research, we need you! Enjoy keeping historical objects and rooms cleaned and polished? We always need help with housekeeping tasks at the Lowrie House!
