Becoming a member of the Curtze Circle at Hagen History Center gives you a front row seat to our storytelling for you and all future generations.
The other reason to join is that your support is needed now more than ever. With COVID-19, the Hagen History Center was first closed for 4 months and then closed again for almost 7 months There was no revenue from visitations or gift shop sales. Membership renewals slowed greatly. Several weddings and fundraising events had to be cancelled. There was also a delay in the construction of the new exhibits. Originally scheduled to open in May 2020, they are now targeted to open in 2021. This also caused a loss in revenue from admissions.
With your Curtze Circle membership, you are welcome to all the benefits listed above and so much more.
See the attached list for the full benefits of membership.
Join us now and help us tell this wonderfully rich story as we continue to make history together. Your membership will help with the staffing and maintenance of the 6 ECHS buildings in Erie and 2 historic farmhouses in Girard.
Join the Curtze Family Leadership Giving Circle for $1,200 or more and enjoy a 15-month membership period. You may also choose to utilize monthly billing for your Curtze Circle donation.
