The Two Rivers Heritage Museum has announced its first membership campaign in decades, an effort to rebuild and grow community support for preserving local history. The museum, located in the city of Washougal, is a nonprofit organization behind the museum’s mission to collect, preserve, and share the stories of the Kamaswesugil area.

Membership Drive

The work at Two Rivers Heritage Museum is incredibly important to our communities, but over time our membership has dwindled as longtime supporters have moved away or passed on, said museum director Julianne Lawrence. Now is the time to renew and expand that support. Increased visibility in recent years through community events, speaking engagements, and Public History Programs has helped build momentum, making this an ideal time to launch the membership drive.

The museum will be open on July 4 in conjunction with the City of Washougal’s Annual Celebration and Parade. Volunteers will hold a History’s Mysteries Scavenger Hunt to help bring history to life for visitors. Two Rivers Heritage Museum offers a range of membership levels designed to fit different interests and budgets. One of the most popular options is the $100 sustaining membership, which includes the American Reciprocal Museum Association Network.

Community members are encouraged to join, support, and help sustain the preservation of local history for future generations by becoming a museum member at any level they have interest in. For more information or to become a member, visit the museum’s website for the link.
