Now it’s your turn! The Albert County Historical Society & Museum is looking for part-time volunteers to help look after the 1845 historic village, welcome guests and host events, as well as the important role of preserving local history. Volunteering for a few hours each week, or for a special project, or for a single event all contribute to sharing Albert County history. Volunteers are especially needed in the following areas:
Admissions and Gift Shop – ACM is open to the public on a seasonal basis. Help to make sure visitors are welcome, provided with information, and assisted with their tour and purchases.
Quilt Show and Sale – help with the planning of this annual event, now in its 49th year, and be a part of the set-up and running of the three day show & sale from July 10-13th.
Gardening and Lawn Care – help look after the beautiful property that is a special part of the ACM guest experience, and assist with flower beds full of heritage perennials.
Special Events and Food Services – Many special events are hosted by ACHS. Help make them each an event to remember through decor, hospitality, food and refreshments.
The schedule is flexible and only a few hours makes a big difference. A volunteer benefit includes free admission to ACM.
Our next volunteer event is on Saturday, May 3rd from 10am to 2pm for the Annual Spring Clean-Up Day as we get ready to open ACM for the season. A delicious lunch will be provided for all who assist!
