SPONSORSHIP

Support your community and your brand as a Whitby Historical Society (WHS) Partner in Preservation or event sponsor. We are actively seeking partners who align with our values and goals. Please reach out to info@lyndehousemuseum.com for more information.

Why Us?

By investing in culture, heritage, and art, you are contributing to what gives a community its distinctive character. Research supports the value of museums and heritage in creating a sense of strong community ties, driving tourism and creating greater satisfaction in people’s lives. A healthy and vital cultural community with well-supported and sustainable heritage and art organizations, plays a powerful role in making a town thrive.

Our patrons care about local and are actively looking for things to do in our region. If you’re a Durham destination, we offer the chance to target your future customers directly. With a yearly reach of well over 10k+ that just keeps growing, and over 55 years in the community, you know you’re investing in good publicity. 

Museums also offer a high regard and trust with the public that’s hard to get elsewhere. A 2021 Canadian survey found “3 in 4 think museums are a very important part of Canadian society” and “80% agree that museums are a credible source of information.”
