Videos Available The Historic Village at Allaire is currently producing a series of videos which are becoming available on the web. The videos include both Informative and Training video series. Instructional and Educational videos are available with a simple mouse click. Web site visitors can view videos covering the history of the Historic Village and the Howell Works Company, while Historic interpreters will have access to a variety of training videos.


Volunteers Needed Allaire Village, Inc. has been primarily a volunteer organization since its founding over 50 years ago. It requires many volunteers to operate the Historic Village at Allaire. This includes not only the historic interpreters and docents visitors meet in the homes and on the streets of the Howell Works Company property but volunteers who work behind the scenes as well. If you enjoy history and meeting people, and perhaps have a flair for theater, then you might enjoy becoming one of our Historic Interpreters. Perhaps you have a flair for sewing and would like to volunteer in our Costume department, or join our researchers as they delve into history researching everything from the Howell Works to the Allaire Family to customs and life in an early 19th Century Company Town. What ever your preference, we can not present the programs we do without your help. More Information Volunteer Application
Allaire Village Continues Traveling Program As part of the Outreach Program, Allaire Village, Inc developed a Traveling program during the 2007 and, due to its success, is continuing the program in the 2008 season. Costumed interpreters and docents travel to off site locations, such as schools, libraries and organization, and present interactive programs on any number of subjects based on early 19th century Life. The program can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the group being visited, such as The Role of Women in the 19th Century or a 19th Century Christmas program. More Information
