Description
Give the gift of time at Naples Historical Society! Hundreds of others have done so. Friendships
are made while volunteering. Productive, like-minded conversations easily flow. Professional
staff involvement keeps our volunteers well informed and inspired. There are many ways to get
involved and enjoy your time while helping to preserve Naples’ past.
Naples Historical Society is dedicated to preserving Naples history and heritage for our
community and future generations to enjoy. The Society owns and operates Historic Palm
Cottage(tm) (a Landmark listed in the National Register of Historic Places, built in 1895), The Norris
Gardens at Palm Cottage, and Administration & Archives (a 1910 contributing structure nestled
in the Naples Historic District). We manage over five preservation initiatives and 10 educational programs throughout the year,
plus we hold many events. This is only the tip of the iceberg...we need your help!
Bring a spouse or friend to an upcoming volunteer orientation and learn more. It costs nothing
to attend and there is no obligation. We hold orientations twice a month throughout the year.
Call for information and decide after the orientation if or how you wish to volunteer your
valuable time. Thank you for your interest.
