We are seeking volunteer docents who will guide visitors through the “big house” as well as the grounds and outbuildings.  We conduct six regular tours each day (3 on Sunday) and also conduct group tours for adults and children.  From time to time we host special events to benefit the site and ask for volunteers for these occasions.
