The National Museum of Industrial History (NMIH) is giving back to
health care workers who have fought tirelessly to keep the community
safe and healthy throughout the coronavirus pandemic through a newly
announced ‘Pay It Forward’ membership campaign. Retroactive to March
14, when the museum facility closed to visitors, until the museum
reopens any new membership purchased will allow the NMIH to provide an
employee of St. Luke’s University Health Network with a free one-year
family membership.
“Nonprofits across our region have faced challenges during the COVID-19
outbreak, particularly our front-line health care workers,” said Kara
Mohsinger, president and CEO of the museum. “Their valiant efforts
mitigated a situation that could have put the Lehigh Valley at a much
greater risk. This program is the least we can do to thank them and
provide their families with a fun and educational outlet once we’re able
to welcome visitors through our doors again.”
“Our St. Luke’s health care heroes sincerely appreciate the outpouring
of support they have received during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said
Patrick Bower, vice president of development at St. Luke’s University
Health Network. “We also realize so many of our museums and nonprofit
organizations are struggling right now and we wish the NMIH much success
on their membership drive.”
Memberships to the National Museum of Industrial History begin at $35
for individuals (discounted to $25 for students, teachers,
military/veterans, and seniors) and include unlimited free admission for
one year, among other benefits. To find out more about membership
levels and purchase one, visit
