Museum Exhibit Creation
ORGANIZATION: RUTLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY INC
Please visit the new page to apply.
Do you have experience creating exhibits - perhaps art, history or otherwise related?
We have a public space, and many artifacts, photos and other items that we would like to showcase. This could be a great opportunity working with current volunteers who are familiar with our collections, for you to create something your own, but for the local community to enjoy! Our building is open FREE to the public during our business hours and by appointment.
If you have some experience in this avenue, we would love to hear from you! You would work with the Board of Directors to create a budget for supplies, and a solid group of volunteers willing to assist, as well as a Curator with decades of experience in Rutland's history. The hours are pretty flexible throughout the week, and there are no specific deadlines, we could just use some focus in this area, as our other volunteers are often pulled to different priorities.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Rutland Historical Society is to collect, hold, preserve and interpret historical material relating to the original Town of Rutland, Vermont which today includes: Proctor, Rutland City, Rutland Town and West Rutland. Interpreting Rutland's history infers an educational sharing with Society members and the general public by whatever activities may accomplish this goal.
Description
The Rutland Historical Society was founded in August 1969, and focuses on the history of the original town of Rutland, VT. Our Society is completely run off of volunteer time. You can see more of what we have accomplished over the years at https://rutlandhistory.com/mission/ . We publish a Quarterly magazine 4 times a year for our members, and a local television series "Historically Speaking". The Society is dedicated to sharing as much material regarding Rutland's past as possible, and have created a website, Facebook page, and Facebook group to get information to the public for free. Our membership dues are low in order to allow for more people to afford joining, but membership is not a requirement to view our collections, visit our building, use our website, or ask for research assistance. Our volunteers meet several times a week, depending on personal availability, and we welcome a wide range of interests and skills.
