Volunteers for Historic Town Hall Museum

Save to Favorites

The Historic Homestead Town Hall Museum is dedicated to providing education to the community about local history as well as preserving and displaying local history. Although small, there are interesting displays and more items we can rotate in a planned fashion. There is only one part time Director and others are volunteers. We have a small board and are looking to add up to eight volunteers to work with the Director and the Board of Directors. We need docents to serve as tour guides Wed-Sat 1:00-5:00 p.m. There is a script and each tour is approximately 45 minutes.

Another area of support is the museum has Past Perfect Software to catalog our archives. The process is time-consuming and while not difficult to learn, it does require patience. It is an ideal opportunity for individuals who have a passion for 1880s-20th century regional history. In addition to Wed-Sat, 1:00-5:00 p.m., there are extra hours during downtown events. Four events per year take place in the evening hours. Experience in history or library is always welcome, but a keen interest in promoting a small museum is more important. Having independent transportation is important. The website had been redesigned and we are engaging in greater outreach than in the past. We also need an individual willing to do website administration and content update. Again, this is not a complex site, but the activities needed do require a few hours each month.
