Do you want to engage, involve, and connect with Louisiana history? Become a museum docent at the Old Governor’s Mansion! We invite you to join us to promote, preserve, and celebrate the unique culture and history of our state.
As a docent, you will be trained to offer adult and school group tours on the history of the nine governors who called the Mansion home. Tours last approximately 1 hour. Groups are not scheduled on Saturdays, so this position is Tuesday through Friday and on an as-needed basis.
Need volunteer or service hours? We welcome student docents!
Docents receive complementary membership to Preserve Louisiana, which includes Free Admission to the Old Governor’s Mansion, invitations to all Preserve Louisiana programs and events, including Heritage Lectures, Preservation Workshops, and the Annual Old Governor’s Mansion Gala, and volunteer appreciation lunches and celebratory gatherings.
