Time Traveler’s Program

Time Travelers is a reciprocal membership network for historical museums and societies throughout the US. The Missouri Historical Society (MHS) created the program in 1998 so that members of historical institutions could receive exclusive benefits and privileges at museums and historical sites nationwide. These benefits may include free or reduced admission, gift shop discounts, free parking, and much more.

Being a member of the Northfield Historical Society now gives YOU access to the Time Travelers program. When you’re traveling, bring along your Northfield Historical Society membership card. Check if there are museums along your route that are Time Traveler members. Your membership gets you reciprocal benefits across the country!
