Volunteer 

 There are many opportunities for adults and students at the Rural Heritage Museum.
Highlighted this month is our need for weekend docents who greet our visitors, assist in the development of educational programs and conduct special activities for students. You will accompany other docents on guided tours to gain knowledge and skills in leading groups.
 Please download the volunteer application, choose the areas of interest and email it back to us.
