Rokeby Museum Orientation for New Volunteers

Past event
Apr 22, 2017, 10 AM

Rokeby Museum celebrates volunteers every April – National Volunteer Month – with an orientation session for new recruits. Join us on Saturday, April 22 at 10 am to check out the opportunities. Volunteering at Rokeby offers a unique opportunity for personal education and service rolled into one. If you love working with people, art and antiques, history, reading other people’s mail, then you should join our corps of dedicated tour guides.

New guides will complete a brief training course that introduces them to the remarkable Quaker family that called Rokeby home and the 200 years of history they lived here. Volunteers study historic photographs, documents, art, and artifacts from the Museum’s extensive collection and then share what they have learned with visitors, working two tour days per month during the season (May 21 to October 29 this year).

Rokeby Museum is a 90-acre historic site and National Historic Landmark designated for its exceptional Underground Railroad history. It presents a nationally significant Underground Railroad story tucked inside a quintessential Vermont experience.
