Membership
Help us preserve local history!
By becoming a member of the Shaker Historical Society, you help sustain our 78-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!
To continue our commitment to collecting, preserving, and interpreting the history of Shaker Heights, we have made the decision to adjust our membership tiers and switch to a fixed membership year, effective on March 1, 2025.
Memberships are active from March 1 through February 28/29. Please direct questions to education@shakerhistory.org.
