The Hudson River Maritime Museum is pleased to be able to partner with local and regional libraries to provide community members who are library patrons free access to our museum. This membership is available to all Hudson Valley and regional public-access libraries. With this membership, we hope to increase access to our museum to members of the public who could not otherwise afford the admission fee, and to encourage an appreciation for and exploration of the maritime history of the Hudson Valley.
This membership can be purchased by a public-access library, such as a community or free library, a county-funded library, a non-profit library organization, or any other library which provides its resources and collection free of charge to the general public.
Library memberships can be purchased at any time of the year, are valid for a full 12 months, and can be renewed by the libraries either by contacting the Membership Manager or through the Member Portal.

Four family passes to the museum, which allows free entrance for a family of any size.
Regular updates about upcoming classes and exhibits which may be of interest to your patrons.
Discounted admission to our online lectures (coming soon)
