Those interested in historical reenacting can devote their efforts to the pioneer era activities or on 1917 farm life. The center focuses on preserving heritage through living history interpretation and includes the 1917 working Jensen Farm, the 7,000 square foot welcome center, the Festival of the American West and special activities year round. The center continues to grow and hosts national tour groups and thousands of visitors every season. We need people who are dedicated to doing this. It's very rewarding.
Training is available.
Individual projects may be accomplished at home. Benefits, including gift shop discounts, meals, admission vouchers and more, are available to volunteers. University credit is available for internships, and families and retired persons are especially encouraged to participate. Like microfilm, printed microcards store vast amounts of print material in a compact format, Anderson explained. USU Libraries has an extensive historical collection in microcard format, but until recently researchers were unable to make photocopies of these documents.
