Love Texas history? Enthusiastic about working with people to teach them about nineteenth and twentieth century Texas? Come be a tour guide for the Winedale Historical Complex. We are a big site in a little town so you may have to commute but it will be worth your time! Lead tours though our historic Lewis-Wagner house and our McGregor home and volunteer at special events. We are also looking for people with special skills like weaving, working on a loom, carpentry, historic food cooking, blacksmithing, and gardening just to name a few. There is always something to do and we will always be happy to have you!
