A Training session is held in April. One staff person works, and it is necessary to have at least one volunteer to be at the museum during these hours. The volunteer can help greet people, provide security in the museum and pioneer village, or work on an office project. Youth Programs - We would like to provide student day camps in the Village with planned crafts, games, cooking meals on a wood stove, etc. We have numerous events each year, including Eddie Cochran Weekend, Autumn in the Village, Membership Drive, and the Christmas Open House.
Volunteers help out before and during each event.
Office and Library Support - Volunteers can help with folding and labeling the FCHM quarterly newsletter or other large mailings, or help in the office and library for a few hours when we are short of staff people. Skills - Teaching the art of quilting, woodworking, tatting, or any other traditional craft of 100 years ago. These were once crucial to daily living and now are almost forgotten arts. If you would be interested in lending a helping hand at the Freeborn County Historical Museum, please Email us. In the subject, tell us which area you would like to volunteer for.
