About this Opportunity

Volunteer museum guides are needed for the 2025 season at the Warner House. Built in 1716-1718, the Warner House is a National Historic Site and shares the stories of the 6 generations of Macpheadrises, Warners, Sherburnes, and Penhallows who lived in the house until 1930. The house became a museum in 1932 and has been open to the public seasonally since then. Fully furnished with period pieces, many of which are original to the house, guides take visitors through the house on tours that last about 45 minutes.

Training is provided and the ability to stand for long periods of time, walk, and climb stairs is required. This is idea for people who enjoy talking with people and history. The museum is open June through mid-October, Thursdays-Sundays, 11am to 4pm.
