Volunteer
Volunteers are the lifeblood of HRMM – they give tours, lead school groups, man the gift shop, interact with visitors, help with events, and make HRMM a wonderful place to visit and work. Without volunteers, we couldn’t be open as often, or serve the public as well as we do.
HRMM is currently seeking volunteers for the 2013 season. In particular we need Museum Educators and Admissions Clerks.
