Volunteering at Hallockville
Without our volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to fulfill our mission. Volunteering at Hallockville is a great way to become involved with the community. We have a wonderful group of people who are dedicated to helping preserve our shared agricultural heritage.
Volunteers select their amount of involvement. Some come one day a week, others one hour a month. Some work from home, and others help out for special events and school programs. Whatever works for you, works for the Hallockville Museum Farm!
What do Hallockville Volunteers do?
The History Buffs – give tours, prepare exhibits, work with artifacts, research and write articles, etc.
The Tuesday Crew – keep the buildings structurally sound. They are carpenters painters, electricians, plumbers and helpers who gather Tuesday mornings to see what needs to be done.
The Gardeners – Under the direction of Master Gardeners, they keep the grounds beautiful and historically accurate. They tend the Heritage gardens, herb beds, historic roses, and the other plantings on the premises.
The School Crew – Under the direction of the Education Coordinator, they provide support during classroom visits. Some teach, some cook, some guide children from station to station and help keep the groups on schedule.
The Special Events Wizards – get fundraising events organized, promoted, staffed, set up and cleaned up.
The Week Day Wonders – answer phones, prepare mailings, make copies, run errands, staff the Gift Shop, etc. as needed and requested by the staff.
The Cleaners - The Hallock Homestead, Hudson-Sydlowski House, and the Cichanowicz Home are the most visited sites, and need the most housekeeping. Volunteers keep them in welcoming condition for visitors.
