6-month Courtesy Membership

Announcing 6-month Courtesy Membership relative to Main Street Children's Museum closing.

Thanks to everyone for your patience while the Main Street Children’s Museum is undergoing repairs to correct the significant water damage it sustained.In appreciation of continued member support and in recognition of this inconvenience, folks who were active Family and Donor-level members on October 1, 2018, along with those who have joined at those levels since that date, are automatically eligible for a one-time, no-cost 6-month Culture & Heritage Museums Courtesy Membership. Eligible members aren’t required to take any action to receive it.

The 6-month Courtesy Membership will automatically begin on the day the Main Street Children’s Museum reopens. Currently, we are unsure of the exact date and are navigating York County’s procurement processes to ensure the refreshed space is beautiful and safe. Courtesy members will receive a membership card listing the active dates and be listed on the Culture & Heritage Museums membership list. Upon its expiration, as Courtesy members may choose to renew at full general membership cost. Courtesy memberships are non-transferable. 

The Courtesy Membership expires six months from MCSM opening date.

1. If the Courtesy Membership is granted to a current member, that member’s membership will extend six months from their current expiration date.
2. If the Courtesy Membership is granted to a former member, the membership expires six months from date of issue. 

6-month CHM Courtesy Membership benefits include:

• Free, unlimited general admission to all CHM sites 
• Free admission to special events and programs
• 10 percent discount at Museum Stores
• Discounted tickets to select McCelvey performances
