The Westmoreland Historical Society invites all people interested in history and/or community service to learn about volunteer opportunities at the Westmoreland Historical Society and Historic Hanna's Town. Join us for a volunteer meeting at the Westmoreland History Education Center on Saturday, March 29 at 10 a.m. We will be discussing various volunteer opportunities and getting to know one another!
There are many ways to get involved to help us preserve and share local history. Volunteers can work with the public by greeting visitors, leading programs and tours, or helping in the Museum Shop. Volunteers in the Library might help reshelve books and file papers, or help researchers find available resources. There are also behind-the-scenes opportunities including helping with mailings or special events, caring for our collections, or gardening. Volunteer hours are flexible and customizable. No experience is necessary; you’ll learn from knowledgeable staff or volunteers.
Volunteering is a great opportunity to meet new people and share your skills with others – and learn new ones, too. Volunteers are vital to the history education and preservation services of the Westmoreland Historical Society. We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds, including but not limited to high school and college students, retirees, teachers, and history enthusiasts.
After the volunteer informational, we will be serving a light lunch from 11:45am – 12:45pm. Everyone participating in the volunteer session is welcome to stay for the lunch and also attend (at no charge) our Women’s History Month presentation at 1pm in the Education Center, featuring Jessica Young, who will present on “What to Wear to the Revolution: From the Inside Out”.
