CHECK OUT THE POSSIBILITIES!
Tour Guide –Tour guides accompany guests as they explore our buildings and grounds. Don’t worry about not knowing all the facts for each building. We will train you to be a successful tour guide and provide you with the necessary resource material. You will enjoy interacting with young and old alike.
Gardening – Our campus grounds have numerous gardens and flowers, all of which need loving attention! You could adopt a specific garden or work as needed. Our grounds are beautiful because of the many hours of attention they are given by our staff and volunteers.
Building Maintenance – All of our buildings are old and require constant upkeep and maintenance. If you like to paint, repair and build, you are just the person we can use. We need people who can work with their hands to get a job done!
Event Volunteering – We host a variety of events every year, all of which require many hours of work. Events such as Legends of Terror and our History Rock’s Car Show, require many hours of preparation, planning, set-up and clean up. Pick your event and join us for a good time!
Office and Clerical Work – Do you like clerical work? We need volunteers to help catalog our artifacts, mail post cards & newsletters, and manage our membership lists. Individuals with other skills, such as graphic arts, should consider volunteering their expertise!
