Become a Volunteer!
Mount Desert Island's history?
The Society is growing and so are volunteer opportunities. Volunteering is a great way for you to learn about island history - and to help others appreciate it, too.
There are many ways you can help:
Docents - greet visitors to the museums, introduce the exhibits and answer their questions.
Administrative Assistants - help the staff with correspondence and the daily operation of the museums.
Archival Assistants - help care for the Historical Society's collections by cataloging, inventorying and ensuring that donated historic items are safely stored.
Exhibit Assistants - join us in developing exhibit themes and planning and mounting exhibits throughout the year.
Programs and Events - share your ideas on interesting topics and good speakers, and help us ensure that programs, field trips and other events run smoothly.
Gardening - help us care for the Heirloom and Conrad gardens in Somesville.
Give as much time as you can and know it will be appreciated!
