Pioneer Museum Membership & Support

When you join the Siuslaw Pioneer Museum you help preserve and present the rich and diverse history of the Siuslaw Region for schoolchildren, academic researchers, vacationing families, and our community.

It’s a meaningful and fulfilling way to make a difference in Florence so others can benefit from visits to the fascinating exhibits and vast research library at our museum.

The Siuslaw Pioneer Museum Association, Inc. is an Oregon nonprofit 501c3 corporation and responsible for providing the funding to operate the museum. Our expenses do not include any paid staff. All funds cover our basic operational expenses such as utilities, insurance, and office materials such as computers and copiers for use by researchers.

Our income comes primarily from membership dues, admissions, and donations. We also have a little bookstore/gift shop. On occasion, we receive grants that we have applied for.

We welcome your membership of the museum at one of the special levels listed below. This allows us to stabilize our annual revenue and carry out our mission of preserving and presenting our cultural history.

Your Siuslaw Pioneer Museum preserves and shares the exciting history of our region with children at our Florence and Mapleton schools, local families, tourists, writers, visiting academics, and researchers so they can appreciate the history, values, stories, and culture of the people who have made this area home.

We achieve this important mission through the operation of the museum and gift shop, a research library, various activities when it is safe to stage them—and through the generous financial contributions and volunteer work of people like you.
