Volunteer to be a living history interpreter at the historic Stauffer-Will Farm! Interpreters have the opportunity to lead hands-on, historically educational activities with field-trip students and visitors to the Stauffer-Will Farm in spring and early summer during the Aurora Colony Museum's field trip season. Activities range from making candles, woodworking, fiber and textiles, baking bread and more! No experience necessary, training is provided.
Our interpreters create a schedule that works for them to participate. The Aurora Colony Historical Society promotes interactive, lifelong learning by inspiring curiosity about the history of the Aurora Colony, a successful 19th century communal society. The Stauffer-Will Farm Program explores 19th century farm life, and colony community and provides students hands on experience with period tools and techniques in five stations.
