The Buttonwoods Museum is seeking volunteer guides to lead seasonal tours of the three historic properties on site. Becoming a guide is a fun way to learn new skills while making an important contribution to the life of the Museum. We are looking for volunteers to commit to 3 hours per week on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, or Sunday between the hours of 1 and 4 p.m., May 1 through October 31st. Guides must have excellent communication skills and be able to work with groups of all ages. A background in history or education is preferred but not necessary. All volunteers will receive thorough training.
