Pet Membership

The Massillon Museum is a three-dimensional story with many chapters.  With a permanent collection of over 100,000 artifacts, we tell tales of local history, artists, contemporary life and more.  Our annual exhibitions, alongside meaningful education and outreach programs, garner statewide and national attention, securing grants and awards that allow us to extend the scope of our storytelling.

The Massillon Museum’s story is about and for the family. To include the entire family the Museum is introducing a new type of membership —Pet Membership!  Human lovers of the Museum are now invited to sign up their animal family members for one of two Pet Membership levels.

The story’s next chapter is up to you.  You and your animal friend’s support drives the plot, making the Museum a timeless “tail” unfolding on the corner of Lincoln Way and First Street in downtown Massillon.

Please email Scot Phillips, Operations Officer or call 330-833-4061 x110 if you would like to purchase a museum membership. You can sign up in person or over the phone. We accept Visa, Mastercard, check and cash.
