Looking for History Buffs!

Do you have a passion for history and a desire to share that passion with your community? Applewood is looking for people like you to assist our visitors as they walk through history during House Tours!

House Tour Area Guide

Provide outstanding visitor experiences by facilitating self-guided tours of the main house. Share with visitors the history of the Mott home and family, as well as the enduring legacy of C.S. and Ruth Mott: their extraordinary commitment to civic participation.

Applewood volunteers are valued members of the Ruth Mott Foundation team. Through volunteering at Applewood, community members are given the opportunity to participate in their community and support the Foundation’s community engagement efforts. Please review our House Tour Area Guide role description and fill out an application to join us if it sounds like a good fit for you! Our volunteer onboarding process includes a background check and an in person training day on April 18th. Our open season runs May through October and we rely on volunteer support throughout that time.

If you are interested or have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Assistant Manager of Visitor Services and Volunteers by phone call or text at 810-280-3736 or via email at ahiggins@ruthmott.org.
