Volunteer Opportunities

Tour Guide Volunteer

Are you a good actor? Maybe you don’t mind public speaking? Become a volunteer tour guide at the museum this summer! The people you meet by giving tours are some of the most interesting and you’ll find the museum more fascinating each time you lead a group through!

Gift Shop Volunteer

If you like retail work, volunteer in our gift shop! We have an eclectic variety of items for sale in the shop and you get to meet all the great people who walk through our doors every day! This volunteer gig is low-key, relaxed and fun.

Collections and Archives Volunteer

We have over 75,000 historical artifacts on site at the museum. Help our collections team manage 200+ years of history from Orleans County in this volunteering opportunity. If you’re interested in conservation, collections, archival or exhibit work, we’d be happy for your help

Education Volunteer

The summer is full of educational opportunities for children at the Old Stone House Museum & Historic Village. From our homeschool enrichment series to Time Travelers’ Day Camps; field trips to Kids Fridays, adventure awaits you as you help museum educators pass on essential knowledge to the next generation. If you’re interested in a career in education or child care, this is the place for you.

Buildings and Grounds Volunteer

Work with experienced grounds managers to maintain perennial and vegetable gardens, trails and buildings. You will gain experience in historic preservation building methods, sustainable and community agriculture, animated infrastructure (like our educational trail) and more. Get your hands in the earth and your hearts in history with this volunteer opportunity!

Special Events Volunteer

Do you love a good celebration? If so, consider joining us as an event volunteer. Event volunteers are always needed and opportunities fall into two categories. The first is the breakdown/set up crew. These volunteers help us set up chairs, tables, parking lot lines, tents, and other needed equipment. The second type of event volunteer is our day-of helpers. These volunteers interact directly with event attendees to assist with parking, admission/information, merchandise, concessions, or as museum docents. Volunteers get free admission and time commitments can be as little as an hour and up to the entire event (4-8 hours). Events with the greatest volunteer needs are Old Stone House Day (8/13) and Twilight Stars Party (9/3).
