Crest Circle Membership - Historical Society of Long Beach

The Crest Circle of the Historical Society of Long Beach supports our wide-ranging gallery exhibitions, community education programs, and permanent collections. Each year, members of the Crest Circle contribute $1,000 or more to the HSLB to help bring local history to life in our galleries. The Crest Circle recognizes the historic significance of the Crest Theatre building that was located on Atlantic Ave. near the current HSLB galleries. Crest Circle membership is offered exclusively to individuals and family foundations who enjoy significant benefits throughout the year.
