Volunteer Opportunities
Click here for our Junior History Club, Noah's New Americans!
Our hosts, hostesses, and historical interpreters are some of the most important people at the museum! Our friendly and helpful hosts greet visitors when they come in the door and orient them to the museum. Historical Interpreters (tour guides) take guests on an exciting trip through time as they discover the historic birthplace of Noah Webster. We also offer some behind-the-scenes opportunities doing research, helping prepare for programs, and doing office work.
Our volunteers are from all over Greater Hartford and come from a variety of backgrounds. Anyone age 15 and over can apply.
- Become an Historical Interpreter: Don’t be fooled by the fancy title - “Historical Interpreter” is just another name for a tour guide. This position requires extensive training on Noah Webster’s life, colonial history, and hands on activities like spinning and weaving.
- Host or Hostess: Greet visitors, collect admissions, assist with museum shop sales, operate the orientation video, and get the museum ready for guests.
- Special Events: Help out at some of our exciting events like West Hartford Hauntings, Tavern Night, or Webster’s War of the Words.
- Internships: We offer several options for high school and college students looking for museum experience. Click here for more information.
- Other options: There is always something going on at the Noah Webster House! Sometimes we need help with research, mailings, organizing, or even housework.
