The museum is a hive of activity throughout the year, not just the summer months.  Throughout the calendar year, our volunteers gather on various days of the week to create displays, work on antique textiles, build storage and display frames, research and make labels, catalogue and assess new acquisitions and much, much more. If you are interested in working on our extensive textile collection, the group meets on Thursday afternoons and is coordinated by Cathy Rodger (623-6289).  With in excess of 2500 volunteer hours given in 2007, it is clear that our volunteers have become the life blood of this museum and we need your donation of time and expertise to make us even better.  If you have a couple of hours a week to spare, we are looking for you.  We always welcome volunteers who may have skills in woodworking, painting, display creation, historical research, computing and secretarial work.

On Tuesdays, high school volunteers who are working on their community service hours get together for label making, painting and display/exhibit creation improvement.  Their laughter and occasional smell of pizza would suggest that it is not all hard work.  If you are a high school student looking to top up your hours or just have a historically good time, please contact the museum.
