Memberships keep the lights on and the collections protected against decay. Most foundations and federal dollars do not fund operating expenses. Your Chieftains Museum/Major Ridge Home membership will help to keep our doors open. All levels of membership include a 10% discount in the Museum Store, early shopping privileges at the annual Herb and Plant Sale, and unlimited free admission to the Museum and its on-going exhibits. Members are also invited to the annual Membership Party each fall, hosted by our Board of Directors, featuring an unusual menu of food with a Cherokee influence.
