Two Ways to Make History as a Volunteer

When I was a docent at the >Montgomery County Historical Society, one of the most common things heard after a tour was “I’ve lived here my whole life and I didn’t know any of that.” Montgomery County is rich in history and we are lucky to have MCHS to document and preserve this past.

Museum Guide

You can become a museum guide for the Beall-Dawson House and Stonestreet Medical Museums. Imagine explaining the medical use for leeches and pointing out the chamber pot under the bed. A training session will be offered on Monday, February 25, 2008 from 10 AM – 3 PM. If you like to talk to people and are available to work two weekday afternoons or one weekend afternoon per month, then register for this training by calling 301-340-2825 or kylottes@montgomeryhistory.org.

History Day Competition Judge

Help change the way students learn history! On Saturday, March 15, 2008, students in grades 6-12 will be judged for the National History Day competition. This year’s theme is “Conflict and Compromise”. MCHS needs judges to choose the winners in the following categories: papers, exhibits, media presentations, performances, and websites. Volunteers should be able to give positive comments for improvement. Call 301-340-2825 or ecorrell@montgomeryhistory.org.
