Membership
Join the Crew!
Membership at Port Columbus plays a vital role in supporting the Museum. Member dues are used to meet administrative and operational expenses as well as provide Port Columbus with the opportunity to develop new exhibits, acquire historic artifacts, provide educational experiences and create living history programs.
Member benefits for all levels include a subscription to the “Port City Ram” electronic newsletter, discount at the museum shop, car decal, free admission to museum (number of guests defined by membership level) and invitation to special events.
Memberships at the Lieutenant level and higher now include membership to the North American Reciprocal Museum Program, granting free admission to 580+ participating historical and cultural institutions. For a full listing of all NARM member institutions, click here.

New for 2012, Corporate memberships are now available as well, providing membership benefits to all employees of a member company – for more information, contact Jon Knighton at 706-327-9798 or office (at) portcolumbus.org
