A previous employer held an annual membership open-house in conjunction
with another smaller organization that provides performing arts
experiences in schools. They also provided a discount if you joined that
day plus a small gift sent with the membership card. It was
great--people were entertained and the organizations had good new
membership rates. It was not expensive to run (biggest expense was
probably having hourly staff for extra hours and buying platters of
cookies).

Debra --
Have you tried partnering with 1 or 2 other
historical/educational/cultural organizations in
your area so a single membership includes multiple
organizations?
Another possibility would be to find a corporate
sponsor who will fund a campaign which could include
the cost of a combination of the following -- direct
mailings, newspaper ads, events, member reception,
token gift to mark the membership.
Yet another -- get current members to recruit new
members and give them a small thank-you gift or
additional benefit for their help.
