Programs such as these are still in the process of being created and will not be available yet, but may also facilitate additional hours in the future.

We are primarily a volunteer organization with the goals of a steady staff to help us with our mission of bringing history alive to our many visitors. Currently the position pays between $7.25 - $7.50 an hour depending on craft or experience. Experience is not necessary and onsite training is always paid. Training continues until interpreters are comfortable speaking to the public by themselves, sometimes this is very quickly, others prefer to take their time. All costume and clothing is provided, and you always have the option of having your own if you choose to. We have many seamstresses willing to work with you to complete your perfect 1830s look!
