As a volunteer, you’ll assist us in staffing our various events throughout the year including demo day and conference.
Whether you enjoy carpentry, painting, landscaping, or any other hands-on skills, there are always projects available at the Village.
As a volunteer you’ll work with groups of grade school children, to give them an engaging and educational experience of what life was like for people who lived during the 1800s. Our Ed Programs emphasize hands on activities to keep children engaged as they learn. (volunteers wear period clothing during these programs)
In addition to the preservation and documentation of the artifacts we already posses, new pieces are regularly being donated to our collection which you’ll help to assess, document, organize, preserve, etc. (Experience is appreciated, but not required)
As a volunteer, you’ll design quilts, machine piece the quilt tops, layer with batting, and hand quilt. You’ll also produce a variety of patterns, colors, and sizes of quilts. Most of the quilts are raffled to benefit the Village. Our quilters all come with varying backgrounds and abilities, so beginners are always welcome!
Throughout the year Heritage Village Museum runs a variety of special events. Help anywhere from admissions and concessions to dressing in period clothing and interpreting our historic buildings or doing 19th century demonstrations, there is something for everyone!
As a volunteer, you’ll help by weeding, thinning crops, watering, mulching, checking for disease and insect pests, harvesting, and managing the compost piles.
If you love 19th century history and/or Cincinnati and would like to share that passion with others, this could be the volunteer opportunity for you! As a volunteer you may research current or upcoming exhibits, write information cards for displays, or even develop your own exhibit from the ground up!
From greeting visitors in our gift shop and answering questions about the Village to selling merchandise, admissions, and memberships, there is always something to do and someone willing to train you!
