Become a Museum Volunteer
Volunteer with the Collection
We are always on the lookout for volunteers to help identify, catalog, and provide museum care to our collection of historic photos and artifacts. Museum volunteers work directly with the curator and the collection downstairs. You’ll help us manage and protect Palmer’s history.
Become a Tour Leader
The museum is situated in Palmer’s historic district, and from June 1 to August 31, we offer tours Monday through Saturday at 1pm. Volunteer docents sign up to lead weekly tours, helping museum staff to share the story of our town’s with locals and visitors alike!
Board & Committee Volunteering
Do you have fundraising, event planning, collections, art, or other experience that could help the Museum with our mission? Share your skills as a board or committee member and support our work in the Valley community.
