Our mission states that we are here to "educate the public on the lives and contributions of the First Ladies," and the Exhibit Hosts are ambassadors of this mission.

• Staying up to date on First Lady history to remain knowledgeable on the topic
• Answering all visit questions related to First Ladies, our organization, the National Park Service and the Canton area

• Allow guests to browse exhibits at their own pace but remaining available to chat or answer questions
