Berkeley Township Historical Society Seeks New Members

BERKELEY, NJ — The Berkeley Township Historical Society launched a 2021 membership drive to invite all Berkeley Township residents to join. A yearly membership costs $10 per person and $15 per family, and will be good now until Dec. 31, 2021.

According to a BTHS Facebook post, this year's membership dues will contribute to "much needed exterior maintenance of the museum building," including new windows, repainting the exterior and replacing any rotten wood trim.

"We continue to look for ways to preserve our area’s past and present exhibits that are engaging, educational, and entertaining. Membership support is crucial to the Berkeley Township Historical Society’s continued ability to achieve its mission."

Membership dues also support the work of the society, including monthly programs and presentations to schools and civic groups, community events, document searches at the new research center and the creation of an interactive website.

The BTHS aims to boost their membership from 112 annual memberships to over 500 this year. The membership application can be accessed online on the BTHS Facebook page.
