Membership
Help us preserve local history!
By becoming a member of the Shaker Historical Society, you help sustain our 75-year history of quality programming, exhibits, events, and collections that tell the story of our Shaker Heights legacy. SHS would not exist without the support of our generous members!
*Please note that some of the member benefits listed below, such as private tours and rentals, may have to be adjusted to comply with COVID-19 guidelines.
Memberships expire a year from when you join or renew!
We are now processing memberships primarily through our Square online store for easier processing. Simply select your desired membership level, add at least one name (Family level and above can name up to two adults), and check out! We will still accept memberships submitted through PayPal if that is your preferred method of paying.
If you have any questions about your membership, please email director@shakerhistory.org.
