January is traditionally when the CH Moore Homestead focuses on its membership and seeking renewals and new members.

Executive Director Joey Long indicates there are several levels of membership with the highest level being a $ 1,000-lifetime membership - which she says they are seeing a few more of those memberships coming in.

According to Long, it is great to see the support the museum has through memberships. She notes - memberships are not just coming in from Clinton or DeWitt County, rather they have members across the state and even the country.

Memberships are a great way to support the DeWitt County Museum. Long explains memberships are a great thing to pass down from generation to generation and continue to help the Homestead sustain itself and keep its doors open.

Membership to the DeWitt County Museum has its perks. Long says they send out a bi-annual newsletter among admission discounts.
