Why Join the Friends of Fort Steele?

1.  It’s easier on your pocketbook

Local patrons visit Fort Steele many times each year, often bringing visiting friends and family along. We strive to make that as easy as possible by providing very reasonably priced annual memberships. Your repeat visits are as easy as showing your card…and you get discounts up to 50% for the folks you bring along too. What a great way to introduce your friends to this wonderful gem!

Memberships pay for themselves in two or less visits.

2.  You get great benefits

When you join before Easter, you can prepurchase tickets for our most popular event, the Halloween Spooktacular.  Members get an earlybird discount…but only if you sign up before Easter!

Our annual membership drive is the Friends of Fort Steele Society’s largest fundraising effort.  By joining, you are supporting a valuable piece of our history for future generations…and that should make you feel really good inside.
