Come help us put on a c.1900 World's Fair! Do you like games, food, and fun family activities? Then join us for this exciting event! We need volunteers who like history and working with all ages of the public.
Our volunteers will:
- Monitor games, crafts, and activities
- Make ice cream using a hand-cranked machine
- Help visitors find their way around the building
The event includes:
- Booths from embassies and cultural centers to educate the public about their cultures
- Museum tours
- Games
- Crafts
Potential volunteers will need to come to the DAR Museum building for an in-person interview, and may be asked to come for one or two days of training and orientation before the event. Volunteers are welcome to wear turn-of-the-century clothing but it is not required.
