Tour Guides and Interpreters

Tour Guides:
Share your enthusiasm and knowledge with visitors to the Museum.  We provide the information, you bring the enthusiasm!  Tours usually run under two hours and are pre-booked, so we will contact as necessary.

Interpreters:  Interpreters share information on a specific topic or artifact during school programming or at special events.  It can be as simple as teaching a craft or demonstrating a heritage skill – we provide all the training you need.
