How Can I Help?

Because Wilderstein is not owned by the state or federal government, our ability to make the mansion, grounds, and collections available to the public depends upon the generosity of individuals such as yourself. Please consider becoming a member today. Wilderstein has an entrepreneurial board of directors and an army of dedicated volunteers who achieve amazing results from every membership dollar.

Please use the below link to become a Wilderstein member online. An acknowledgement letter from Wilderstein and any other applicable items will be sent to your “billing address.”

If you prefer, you may mail a check to: Wilderstein Membership; PO Box 383; Rhinebeck, NY 12572.
