Members enjoy discounts, early-bird access and many other benefits in addition to supporting the Museum in our mission of stewarding and sharing the heritage of Dartmouth with our local community and those from further afield.

Dartmouth Heritage Museum is a not-for-profit organization operated by the Dartmouth Heritage Museum Society on behalf of the Halifax Regional Municipality. This means we put every penny made back into our running costs. As a member, your contribution helps to support our successful exhibitions, events, and learning programs.

Becoming a member also gives you a voice in determining the future direction of the Museum through participating and voting at the Society’s Annual General Meeting.
