• No Experience? No Problem: We provide full training on the history of the Card Home and Courthouse & Heritage Museum. [1]  

What You’ll Do: 

• Curate & Design: Assist the Archivist and Exhibits Coordinator to create and set up great new displays and exhibits for the museum. 

• Engage Digitally: Help manage our social media presence by creating fun, educational content that brings history to life online. 

• Lead Tours: Provide friendly, prompt service and lead captivating guided tours of our historic sites. 

• Demonstrate: Bring the past to life by showing visitors the "way of life" and daily tasks of the period. 

• Create Events: Help develop and manage exciting community events. 

• Care for History: Open, close, and ensure our historic sites stay safe and beautiful for everyone. 

Positions Available: All positions conclude on September 6, 2026.

Who You Are: 

• A "people person" who is friendly, creative, and helpful. 

• A strong communicator (both in person and on social media!). 

• Dependable and able to work independently (you’re a self-starter!). 

• Organized, neat, and ready to take initiative.
