Happy Holidays to the OHS&BHM community! It is time for our annual membership drive and we are hopeful that you will choose to join or renew with us for 2023. If you prefer to pay by mail instead of on-line, feel free to do so by mailing us a membership form along with your check. If paying by mail, please mail the membership form and your check to: ;
You can join or renew in one of two ways:
1. You can join or renew by printing out a form here: OHS-BHM Support Form, and mailing to
OHS-BHM PO Box 1821 Olympia, WA 98507
(Current members will also be provided with the form via e-mail during the annual membership drive.)
This year, for the first time, we are delighted to offer a limited number of membership premiums on a first come, first served basis, for those who affirmatively let us know that they would like to receive one.
For those who join or renew a membership at the $100, $150, or $200 levels, we are offering the following premium to the first 10 people who join at one of those levels:
- “Susan B. Anthony Tribute,” a ragtime sheet music composition by Olympia area musician and composer Jean Johansen-Kuehn. The original music was first performed by the composer at the Bigelow House Museum on February 15, 2020 at a special celebration of the Bicentennial of Susan B. Anthony’s birth and of the Centennial of Woman’s Suffrage.
For those who join or donate at an amount above $200, we are offering a softbound copy of Thurston County: Water, Woods and Prairies, a project of the Thurston County Historic Commission. This 290 page book, with 250 photos, contains essays by local authors about Native Americans, maritime explorers, early settlers and farmers, as well as the story of the state capital and contemporary times.
If you wish to obtain one of these premiums at one of these levels, please let us know when you join or renew by (1) clicking on olyhistory@gmail.com to send us an email, AND (2) by paying via PayPal on our website at www.olympiahistory.org, or sending a membership form and check, concurrent with the date of your email request.
Many thanks for your continued support!
