Membership Drive
This November, we give thanks for our members! Membership helps ensure that Clermont remains a place of learning and inspiration for generations to come. Join us in celebrating our shared history and contributing to the preservation of this beautiful site.

Be part of history: As a member, you'll help protect and promote the legacy of the Livingston family and the vibrant history of the Hudson River Valley.
Exclusive benefits: Enjoy members-only events, discounts on workshops and tours, early access to our seasonal programs, and discounts at our online store. Each level offers its own set of benefits, and all members receive complimentary admission, parking pass, 10% off in our online gift shop, 20% off admission to Wildlife Conservation Society parks, and more.
Engaging events: Participate in fascinating lectures, workshops, and community gatherings that connect you with fellow history lovers and deepen your understanding of our heritage.
Grants: Membership support helps us obtain grants! Grantees are more likely to give to nonprofits when they have the support of a dedicated community of donors.
