Volunteer

Volunteers are the life blood of the museum! We can always use more – no specialized knowledge needed.

Volunteers are more than welcome! Talk to the Director for more information and to discuss how your skills can be put to best use. For example, one area of need is to operate the front desk and welcome visitors. There are many other areas where help is welcome, from conducting tours, maintaining artifacts and grounds, or assisting at special events. A list of the volunteer opportunities follows below:
