During this time when our museum building is under construction, our program calendar is still as busy as ever. Sometimes it’s hard to choose what to sign up for! Birding, quarry trip, canoe expedition, sailing in the bay, fossil hunting, moth night, basket weaving…. the list goes on and on. If you’re the kind of person who wants to do them all, this raffle prize can make that dream come true.

Meanwhile, the NHSM gift shop is full of items that can’t be found anywhere else, like shark-tooth jewelry, rare and collectible fossils, gorgeous gems and minerals, hard-to-find books, original artwork and photography, and much more. During construction, the shop is open to program participants when they come to the building; it will re-open with regular public hours in just a few months.
And as always, the raffle prize includes a Lifetime membership to NHSM, which is practically priceless!
PLUS
With a Lifetime Membership to NHSM (value $1000), you will receive discounts on many of our programs—from lectures, workshops, and courses offered in our museum, to canoe trips, nature walks, and fossil hunts in the great outdoors.
