There has never been a better time to be an OJMCHE member! Your OJMCHE membership not only supports our critical mission— now it is part of a regional reciprocal membership program that lets you and three guests experience a different cultural institution each month. OJMCHE is in collaboration with eleven other regional partners to show appreciation for each institution’s loyal members as well as highlighting the important role that culture and history play in our communities. Beginning in January membership to one of the participating organizations allows free admission for a member and three guests of any age to a different attraction each month.
Thank you for your support!
Offer applies to all membership levels. Valid proof of membership and photo ID required.
