Volunteer

Our volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. Volunteering at the museum is interesting as well as fulfilling, and a great way to get to know our community, its rich history, and being able to share that with our guests. We have special events throughout the year where volunteers are hosts for the Society. Volunteers are also needed to help with event setup, to assist with guided tours, sprucing up our grounds in the spring, and Christmas decorating. Please consider spending some time with us! If you have an interest, we have a project.

For more information or to get involved, call the office at (419) 289-3111.
