Want a fun and novel place to volunteer? Do you love history, railroading, and think sharing stories of the technological changes and social impact of Railroading in America with museum visitors sounds fun? Volunteer at the B&O Railroad Museum, the birthplace of American Railroad, and home to hundreds of historic rolling stock and railroading artifacts. The Museum is also a National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom site.
The B&O Railroad Museum is currently recruiting volunteers interested in becoming docents for all exhibits on the museum floor. Docents provide all information to museum patrons on exhibits, directions, programming, and special events. Docents are trained in the history and galleries we provide during their orientation. Ideally, we are looking for volunteers available MONDAY - WEDNESDAY to work the information desk, but we can accommodate to other schedules.
All volunteers receive a free membership to the B&O Museum!
