Every first and third Saturday of the month, we have a general work day at Heritage Farmstead Museum in order to keep up with the 4 acres of the museum grounds' maintenance, keeping the Farmstead beautiful! The activities vary every time, but range from raking and picking up leaves, to cleaning the blackboard in the school house. This is a great activity for groups, for those looking to be outdoors, and those accruing hours for NHS or another volunteer opportunity. These clean ups never get boring as the tasks are constantly changing. To sign up, volunteers should email volunteer@heritagefarmstead.org with the dates they would like to volunteer. Occasionally the clean ups are cancelled when we have events, or closer to the date if we are experiencing particularly bad weather. For the most part, all of the activity will take place outside, so volunteers should plan to dress for the weather, and always wear close-toed shoes.

About Heritage Farmstead Museum
Location:
1900 W 15TH ST, Plano, TX 75075, US
Mission Statement
The mission of the Heritage Farmstead Museum is to collect, preserve, and interpret late 19th century Blackland Prairie history while making use of the authentically restored Farrell-Wilson Farmstead, a designated historic site.
Description
The Heritage Farmstead Association works to preserve, teach, and demonstrate the past to more than 30,000 visitors annually. Transformed into a living museum of agricultural history, this 4.5 acre historic farm complex has been awarded designation by the Plano Landmark Association, a State of Texas Historical marker, and a listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The museum has received accreditation from the prestigious American Association of Museums.
Heritage Farmstead Museum relies on volunteers for many of its programs, events, and day to day operations. We have a wonderful team of volunteers who we train in their volunteer positions until they feel comfortable. We have parties, and opportunities to engage with other volunteers and staff.
Come join our team and help preserve history for generations to come!
