Volunteers

volunteer helping happy children with craft

Volunteers help us create a fun and educational experience for everyone who visits the museum. Most volunteers interact directly with our guests, but some work behind the scenes as well. You can spend a few hours, a day, a week, or even a season with us.

We welcome volunteers of all ages; those under 16 must volunteer with a parent or guardian. For high schoolers, these hours count for Silver Cord. We also welcome family, community, and corporate groups.

Current opportunities:


collage of baseball players - family at 1900 - medicine show

Seasonal Volunteers • May–October

These volunteers put in regular hours throughout our General Admission season. We need Historic Baseball players, Drama Society players, and volunteers to help staff staff historic farms, homes, and businesses.

Tell us about your special skills and interests, and we’ll help you find a place to put them to use.
