“On the Spot” Volunteers Needed at Historical Museum
Volunteer your time for any or all of the exciting programs occurring at the
State Historical Museum in the next few months. Ask your friends and volunteer
as a group. State Historical Building events and programs are a great opportunity
to earn volunteer service hours for your school, workplace or through United Way.
