6/27 Sunday Greeters for the Wright County Fair
Shifts: 10am-1pm, 1pm-4pm

Greet and guide visitors in the Welker Schoolhouse during the Wright County Fair, or welcome them in our lovely cabin.

This is a great opportunity for outgoing history lovers! And with 2 volunteers per shift, it’s also a wonderful way to either meet new people or sign up as a group to spend time with a family and friends - all while giving back to a local nonprofit organization.

Volunteers at the Fairground will:

  • Engage with visitors as they explore the Schoolhouse & Cabin
  • Help with museum gift shop
  • No prior experience needed-come and enjoy a short step back in history, then explore the fair when you’re done!

Volunteers gain free entry into the fair on the day of their shifts, however there is no free parking.

Mission Statement

The Wright County Historical Society (WCHS) is a public 501(c) non-profit organization whose mission is to collect, preserve and share our history through the location, discovery, collection and preservation of historical artifacts and records. Our vision is to serve as the collective historical memory of Wright County, present exhibits that use historical materials related to the county, provide a comprehensive genealogical research facility, and connect to diverse audiences through a variety of methods.

Description

The Wright County Historical Society is located at the Wright County Heritage Center in Buffalo, Minnesota. It consists of nearly 8000 sq ft of gallery space, a genealogical research library, and historic buildings both on our grounds and the county fairgrounds. WCHS also provides many presentations, events, and lecture opportunities, including our famous History of Tractors series, an indoor Festival of Trees and much, much more. WCHS prides ourselves on providing many hands-on interactive exhibits, making for great tours and a family-friendly place to visit. We are open Monday-Friday and admission to our galleries and library is free.
