The Osborne Homestead Museum is currently seeking volunteers for its 2018 Holiday Season running from November 7 to December 16, 2018. The museum offers many opportunities and a flexible time commitment.  If you love arts and crafts, you can be a volunteer decorating assistant from November 7-17 and help the garden clubs set up their decorations.  Time commitment ranges from one day a week for an hour to several days a week for up to four hours a week.  If public speaking is your forte, become a docent or greeter!  Time commitment is 3 hours, from 4pm to 7pm, for the Friday night Twilight Tours on November 30, December 7, and December 14.  Also volunteers can choose other days and time commitments depending on their personal schedule. Prospective volunteers should be passionate about art, history, enjoy interacting with the public, and be able to make a time commitment to the Osborne Homestead Museum.
