Museum Membership

The Upper Bay Museum depends on the proceeds from our fundraising events, donations from visitors and supporters, and your membership dues. 

Due to Covid, we had to cancel all fundraising events in 2020 or 2021 and the first planned fundraiser in 2022.  

We do not charge visitors admission.  We receive no recurring federal or state funding, although we have recently received a few small grants. We have been seeking additional grants to replace the loss from canceled fundraising activities.

We need the help of our membership fees, donations, and upcoming fundraisers – including the Upper Shore Decoy Show on October 15 – to “pay the bills.”
