Thank you for being a member of the Erie Canal Museum. Because we are a free museum that is (once again) open seven-days-a-week, support from our members provides an essential financial platform upon which we build everything we do. During this particularly financially difficult time, your continued support truly means a lot to us!

Every few years, we like to survey our members because we have so much we can learn from you. Based on what we learn, we might make updates to our membership program or other work we are doing. The last time we surveyed you was in 2017. We had about a 20% response rate from our members then, and I hope we can do even better this year! As a result of that survey, we created the membership discount for students, seniors, educator, and military personnel; added a research benefit; and made a few other tweaks to Museum Membership. I look forward to hearing from you again and perhaps making updates to our membership program based on your suggestions.

Your input is important to us as we work to grow, improve, and remain relevant in this ever-changing world. We love what we do here at the Erie Canal Museum, and it’s gratifying to know that members like you support us.
