Volunteers Are Critical to the Success of the Museum

Whatever your talents or interests are, we invite you to participate by volunteering. The museum is also a great option for high school students in need of community service hours. We have several areas that you may be interested in becoming a part of: cataloging inventory, cleaning and rearranging the artifacts in the house and barn, planning special programs and exhibits, researching and creating educational experiences for museum visitors, organizing money-making activities for the museum, performing general maintenance of the museum property, recruiting new members, becoming a docent and giving tours when the museum is open, and helping with heavy lifting of museum pieces.
