Membership

Coastal Georgia Historical Society relies on the support of members, donors, and volunteers to sustain our mission to preserve Coastal Georgia’s rich heritage.

We are truly fortunate to have a strong and loyal group of members–which now numbers more than 800 individuals and families–whose  generosity is key to the development, growth, and maintenance of our historic structures; exhibitions and collections; archives and research facilities; and school and public programs. Membership benefits, which are outlined below, include invitations to lectures, field trips, store discounts, and entrance to our two museums.

The Society is particularly indebted to the Keepers of the Light, our leadership group, who serve as stewards and steadfast advocates of our mission. The Keepers were formed in 2005 with five individuals and families, and have grown to over 200 members this year. Each Keeper contributes $1,000 or more annually to support the Society.

If you wish to support the mission of the Society, we invite you to become a member by using the form below, or contacting the Society’s Director of Development, Sheila VanderWood, at (912) 634-7096 or email [email protected].  Please note that memberships are good for one year from the time of initial purchase.
