GIVE A MEMBERSHIP
Give Someone a Year of Wayland
A membership to the Wayland Museum & Historical Society lasts a full year, and it makes a good gift. It works for someone who grew up here, someone who just moved to town, or someone who is hard to shop for.
The person you give it to gets our newsletters, invitations to programs and lectures, guided tours of the Grout-Heard House, and a place at the Holiday Open House in December. The gift also helps keep the museum open and the collection cared for.

New exhibits through the year

When does the membership start and end?

GETTING MARRIED IN WAYLAND?
Start your Wayland story with us
Weddings bring people to Wayland, and some of them stay. If you are starting out here as a couple, a Family membership is an easy way to get to know the place you have landed. You will hear about programs and events, get to know the Grout-Heard House, and find your way into the life of the town.
Membership also makes a warm wedding gift. If someone you love is getting married or setting up a home in Wayland, a year at the museum is a good way to welcome them.
