Summer is our busiest time, and we’re always on the lookout for volunteers. They’re the heart of our mission to preserve our town’s history, and protecting our heritage is a gift that benefits our community, visitors, and future generations. We couldn’t do it without them, so please consider joining us as a volunteer and helping make a difference.
