Why Membership Matters…
Memberships are a core source of income for the Museum and make it possible for us to care for the collection of artifacts, documents, and photographs that are part of our permanent and temporary exhibits and to provide free online access to over 18,000 images. This collection is our main source of information about our precious heritage.
Membership Matters
There would be very little that we would have been able to accomplish over the last 32 years without our members and volunteers. We have many membership opportunities available for any private citizen or business who wishes to support the preservation of Benicia’s history.
Exhibits & Cultural Programs
Memberships make it possible for the Museum to create and install new rotating and permanent exhibits with free opening receptions, provide cultural programs with speakers that focus on the history of the Benicia Arsenal, City of Benicia and the Bay Area, book presentations by local authors, and other fun free events for the whole family.
