Membership Societies
Members at the Chestnut level and above receive special benefits and activities while serving as the foundation for a thriving museum.
BRAHM was founded and built with the generous support of many people who had a vision for what a museum could do for the town of Blowing Rock, the region, and the state. As a result, this beautiful museum was built and now houses art and history exhibits, a growing permanent collection, educational programs for children and adults, and many community programs and activities.
Just as the founders of the Museum generously funded the building of the Museum, so our Society Members support the operation and sustainability of the Museum.
