Greeter at Historic Rock Mill

Save to Favorites

The historic Rock Mill is one of the most popular and celebrated features of the Fairfield County
Park District. Set in a picturesque location atop a sandstone gorge along the Hocking River, this
working grist mill is open seasonally for tours on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays during
the months of May through October with period-accurate milling taking place the final Sunday
of each month during the season. Greeters are vital to assisting staff with monitoring
visitor access, providing mill and site information, enhancing visitors’ experiences, and if interested operating various milling equipment.

General activities may include, but are not limited to:

• Opening and preparing mill for operation
• Operation of milling equipment
• Ensuring visitor safety in the gorge and around moving parts
• Sharing knowledge about the site and milling process
• Assisting with cleanup and shut down of the mill
• Maintenance of the mill and surrounding property

There are no qualifications necessary to become a Greeter at Rock Mill aside from
possessing a great attitude and enjoyment of sharing a knowledge of the mill’s history and
processes with visitors of all ages. Volunteers may be exposed to inclement weather, biting
insects, noxious plants, and other risks associated with being in an outdoor setting and depending on jobs you sign up for may be located near large moving parts of the mill.

All Fairfield County Park District volunteers are subject to a background check prior to
