Worth knowing
- Greeters and docents welcome visitors, help protect artifacts and point out items of interest. You learn about Clayton history as part of the role.
- To get started, call the museum using the number on its volunteer page and ask for an appointment with the lead docent or a curator. Confirm available shifts directly.
- Want a look before volunteering? The museum website links its exhibits and a filmed tour of Clayton from 1964, and lists visiting hours.
What we still want to learn from locals
- How often do docents work, and what does a first shift look like?
