The purpose of
the Caldwell Heritage Museum is to preserve the history of Caldwell
County for future generations. The Museum relies on a variety of
volunteers to create and maintain this treasure for the county, its
citizens and its visitors. In fact, without its volunteers,
the Museum could not exist at all.
Our Museum
volunteers are a warm and dedicated group, and they perform
a broad range of tasks as best suits their individual talents,
inspirations and preferences. Such tasks include but are not
limited to the following:
- Adopt one of the
permanent exhibits,
keeping it neat and up-to-date.
- Find and acquire relevant items
for the Museum's collections.
- Solicit and help set up the
special
exhibits
on the Museum's main floor.
- Catalog parts of the permanent
collections.
- Clip relevant historical items
from newspapers. (This, like some of the other volunteer
activities, could be done at home.)
- Write articles for the
Museum newsletter.
- Help with newsletter mailings.
- Research and/or write grants for
the Museum's activities.
- Plan fund raising events.
- Deliver Museum event advertising
posters to various communities in or near Caldwell County.
- Prepare or solicit refreshments
for special events such as the Fifth Sundays.
- Provide staffing for special
events, such as greeters at the front door and throughout the
Museum.
- Trim shrubbery and work with
the plants outside the Museum.
- Front desk reception: greet
visitors and answer the telephone during regular Museum hours.
- Your ideas for other tasks,
ongoing or one-time: we are open to all suggestions!
Volunteers work with
members of the regular staff or other volunteers to "learn the
ropes." No-one is asked to work alone until comfortable doing so.
