Volunteer with the Museum
Community volunteers have been instrumental in founding, developing, and running the Museum. Our volunteers contribute their time and talents to the Museum in a number of ways:
Become a docent: Our docent volunteers greet visitors and give tours of the Museum. Docents are needed during standard museum hours (Tuesday-Friday 1:00 pm-4:00 pm and Saturday 10 am–2:00 pm).
Join a committee: We welcome interested community members to join any of our committees. As a committee member, you have an option to research and create exhibits, help with fundraising events, coordinate educational programs, or find your own way to get involved and contribute to the Museum.
Help with a project or an event: We are always looking for assistance with various projects and events. This is a more time-flexible way to get involved with the Museum.
Go "behind-the-scenes”: A lot goes on in preparation and maintenance of exhibits and in general upkeep of the Museum. Volunteers help with records and organization of collections, membership and in other important housekeeping operations.
