We are looking for skilled volunteers, interpreters, and demonstrators to join the Museum's all volunteer staff.

If you have knowledge of the Grayson county area at the Turn of the Century, or a skill used by the people who lived here then, you would be an invaluable asset to our organization.  We are looking specifically for the following skills:

  • Docent:  Like to dress up and play a role?  Learn more about the history of Grayson County. Greet visitors, lead Farm Museum tours, sell Museum memorabilia, assist children with educational programs or help to create a special event.
  • Site Steward:   Get your hands dirty!  Assist with maintenance of buildings, fencing & perennial plants. Assist with development of facilities needs assessment.
  • Assistant Museum Photographer:   Assists the Official Museum Photographer with photographic projects as directed.  All contributed photos remain the property of the Museum.
  • Restoration Specialist :  Are you a Mr./Ms. Fixit? Have basic wood working and/or metal working skills?  Both household and agricultural restoration projects available.

If you are interested in volunteering in these or other ways, please email us at matthewsmuseum@gmail.com
