Support the Perinton Historical Society with Your Membership

We invite you to join or renew your membership in the Perinton Historical Society(PHS) and take part in its activities.

Membership dues and contributions support our community programs, publications and operation of the Fairport Historical Museum. PHS is a registered non-profit organization so your donations may be tax deductible.

Dues support the following:

• Educational programs - monthly lectures featuring stimulating local and regional speakers, tours for visitors and local groups, school programs
• The Historigram – our newsletter with articles about local history, people, events and exhibits
• Our website at: www.PerintonHistoricalSociety.org, with growing online archives and information
• Maintaining the Museum and providing free access to its extensive collections and research documents
• Acquisition and preservation of historical artifacts and documents
• Picnic in the park
• Research assistance (by appointment)
• Historic tours

Our membership year runs from September 1st to August 31st, and membership levels are listed on the form. Please fill out the form and return it to the Museum. Our dues levels have increased this year for the first time since 1998, necessitated by the increasing costs of our programs and operation and maintenance of the Museum.

Volunteers are always needed to continue and expand our work in the community. We invite you to learn more by visiting the Museum or our website. If you wish to help by serving on one of our committees, please check the appropriate box on the membership form.
