The purpose of the J

J.H. Rathbone Museum and Resource Center

The purpose of the J. H. Rathbone Museum and Resource Center is primarily for the preservation of artifacts and publications related to the Order of Knights of Pythias and its current and past affiliated organizations. The museum is named in memory of the founder of the Knights of Pythias and in honor of his ideals and vision. Notwithstanding this Pythian focus, the museum will also house artifacts and publications from other fraternal societies including an extensive ritual library for fraternal and academic research.

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization; therefore, all donations are tax deductible.

The Board of Directors has guided this project to the point where the museum will open in the near future. In anticipation of the opening, the Board is excited to offer, for a limited time, charter memberships. Individual memberships will be $25 per year and family memberships will be $40 per year. The Board has also developed a “Centennial Club” for individuals, families, or organizations who wish to pledge $100 per year for the next 10 years.

As we grow and expand our membership, we intend to provide new and exciting benefits to our loyal members. Watch for an announcement of our Grand Opening!
