Do you like kids and have an interest in Livermore's history? Then this is a wonderful opportunity for you. The Livermore HistoryMobile is a renovated RV that is a museum on wheels. During the months of April and May, we take the HistoryMobile to each of the third grades in Livermore, spending a day at each school. There are 15 elementary schools and we schedule 16 days during those months. We will train you in Livermore's history and show you how we present the information to the kids. The classes love the HistoryMobile and you would not be alone since we have 3 docents at each school. You can work as many of the schools as you like, but we ask that you commit to at least 3 for the season. Those dates will be scheduled at your convenience. You will find this a very rewarding opportunity. All our volunteers love seeing how excited the kids are and how easy it is to educate them. Please connect for more information.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Livermore Heritage Guild is to ensure awareness and protection of Livermore's rich heritage through public advocacy and by collecting, preserving, interpreting, and sharing historic resources for the education and enjoyment of all. Our motto is " Saving Yesterday For Tomorrow" and our logo is a drawing of the historic Southern Pacific Railroad Depot.
Description
The Livermore Heritage Guild is Livermore's historical society. We maintain a collection of historic archives and artifacts, along with a newspaper index, oral histories, maps and many other resources for exploring Livermore's heritage.
In addition, we operate a history mobile to take history instruction to the schools, have restored three of Livermore's historic fire trucks, and operate two historic sites and a museum. Our headquarters is in the historic Carnegie Library building at 3rd and South J streets in downtown Livermore and includes a small museum as well as our research material and collection. One historic site is the Duarte Garage and Lincoln Highway Museum on Portola and North L Streets. We open the garage monthly for visitors as we continue restoration and exhibit work there. Our other site is the 5 acre Hagemann Ranch, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
There is a wide range of projects going at any given time, please join us!
