This program is designed to be simple, social and meaningful.

You don’t need to be a historian.

You don’t need prior experience.

You just need a friendly spirit and a love for community.

What is the Family & Friends Program?

Family & Friends docents serve in pairs – bring a friend, a spouse, a neighbor, or we’ll help match you.

Each pair:

  • Serves two Saturdays per year.
  • Hosts the Museum from 11:00AM to 1:00PM.
  • Welcomes visitors and help create a warm, inviting experience.

Why People Love It

  • It’s low commitment.
  • It’s social (you serve with someone you enjoy).
  • It’s meaningful (you keep local history alive).
  • It’s actually…fun!

 What You’ll Do on Your Saturday

  • Greet visitors as they arrive.
  • Share a few highlights about the museum (we’ll guide you).
  • Answer simple questions-or say, “I’m not sure, but let me find out!”
  • Keep an eye on the space.
  • Enjoy the stories and conversations that unfold.

We’ll give you everything you need to feel comfortable.

 We Make It Easy

You’ll have access to a simple Docent Hub, including:

  • Your schedule
  • A quick end-of-shift report
  • Short friendly guides (tutorials)

No long training sessions-just what you want, when you need it.

A Thought We Love

“People may come for the history-but they return for the welcome.”

That welcome is you.
