Why volunteer as a docent?

- Share your love of history with children, families, and community groups.
- Meet a welcoming group of fellow volunteers who share your interests.
- Enjoy the satisfaction of inspiring curiosity and preserving local heritage.
What’s involved?
Docents commit to just one 3-hour shift per month:

The Museum is open Thursday through Saturday, and volunteers are needed during those times. Occasionally, you may also lead tours for school groups, scouts, or senior organizations.
