The Rensselaer County Historical Society participates in Troy Night Out on the last Friday of each month, has several summer deck parties, and has occasional evening programs throughout the year for members and the public. It also hosts the very popular Holiday Greens Show the week after Thanksgiving. Volunteers are needed to act as hosts, to set up for these events, to assist with food preparation and service, to check people in, and to clean up afterwards.
We are looking for volunteers willing to make a long-term commitment to the organization. Potential volunteers are required to 1) submit a brief resume so we can assess their strengths/experience to best employ them in working in the museum/library, and 2) attend a basic orientation to the museum/library and its collection. Sessions are held every few months, so there could be a slightdelay in beginning work.

Mission Statement
The Rensselaer County Historical Society strives to enrich the present and advocate for the future by bringing the region's past to life, recognizing every face and every story. In pursuit of this mission, we collect, preserve, study, interpret, and make accessible a broad variety of objects and documents, and conduct educational programs to inspire public enthusiasm for the past.
Description
The Rensselaer County Historical Society and Museum is a dynamic not-for-profit educational organization established in 1927 to connect local history and heritage with contemporary life. Situated in the downtown Second Street Historic District in Troy, New York, the museum fulfills its mission from two adjacent 19th century townhouses -- the historic and architecturally significant Hart-Cluett House, which serves as a house museum, and the Carr Building, which houses exhibits, programs, and a research library.
