We need your help! The 1890 House depends on volunteers to meet the demands of our visitors. No previous experience is necessary, just a love of the museum and willingness to help visitors! Volunteers are especially needed to help guide school children and other groups through the museum, and to greet visitors and sell tickets. Volunteer help is also needed in our offices and for other special projects. If you have a couple of hours to spare, please call the museum at 607-756-7551. Training and assistance will be provided.
