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.
