Make a difference in your community, help preserve our shared legacy!

Volunteers are the bread-and-butter of every non-profit organization, so they are essential to furthering the mission of Preservation Partners, too. We rely on volunteers to interpret the museums we operate, help with special events and educational programming, help us maintain our Durant House garden, inventory our collections, and just generally keep our heads above water. By donating their time, volunteers share their knowledge and appreciation for history, architecture and people. Don’t worry; we provide all the information you need to know for your desired volunteer position. Do you have a special skill that aligns with our mission? We’d love to hear about that, too.

Join a community of like-minded individuals who cultivate lasting friendships while celebrating our local history!
