MEMBERS and DONORS: IS THERE A DIFFERENCE?

Yes!

Members purchase valuable benefits such as unlimited admissions and discounts on programs and Museum Store items, while Donors make an outright gift and receive no goods or services in exchange.

We appreciate Members as part of our “Alcott family” -- they help to tell our story to others all year long. At the same time, we rely on the generosity of Donors to provide needed funds for major education and preservation expenses which dues and admissions cannot cover. We invite you to consider helping Orchard House even more by making a tax-deductible gift in addition to your membership today.
