Urban Shepherd
Property is a former sheep farm - we have living artifacts!

We have a particular need for and are training tour guides to take tours through Perkins Stone Mansion and the John Brown House. Learn about the Perkins family and share your love of history with our guests as they go through the 1837 mansion. We also have opportunities for gardening, office work, computer work, and special events like 3rd grade tours of the property. Come join us as we host the Mutton Hill Quilt Show in October and the many other events we hold all year long. There are so many ways to have fun at SCHS!
