Become a Member
When you join the Thoreau Society, you join a group representing a wide range of professions, interests, and hometowns across the United States and around the world. Together we are connected by the conviction that Henry Thoreau had important things to say and crucial questions to
ask that are just as significant in our time as in his. Learn more about joining the Society. Volunteer
We have a small group of paid employees, and we are often in need of help from volunteers. Tasks range from stuffing envelopes for bulk mailings or staffing registration tables at our Annual Gathering. If you are interested in volunteering -- and aren't even sure for what duties -- please e-mail us at info@thoreausociety.org.

Attend an Annual Gathering
Nothing is more satisfying than to be in a place with others who share your interests. Our Annual Gatherings are inspirational conferences that are held each July. Click here for more information about the next Gathering.
Join us on an Excursion
We have held various Excursions in past years to Mount Katahdin, Cape Cod, Harpers Ferry, Mount Monadnock and sites in Concord, Massachusetts. Our Katahdin Excursion takes place every August. Click here for more information.
Conduct a Local Event
Thoreau is NOT just in Concord, and neither are Thoreau Society members. Events celebrating Thoreau's life and work are held in a variety of locations around the world. When we learn of them, we publicize them on this web site. If you are interested in holding a screening of our educational DVD, Life with Principle, or holding a larger event, please e-mail us at info@thoreausociety.org.
