Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation is looking for volunteers to serve as interpreters on the farm! CPP is a historic working farm dating back to the seventeenth century. CPP is open to the public on weekends late March through early December from 11 AM to 4PM.

Responsibilities:

• Engage guests by explaining the history of the site and demonstrating historic skills and farm tasks.
• Invite and encourage guest participation in skills and activities
• Learn historic skills to interpret those skills to the public.
• Participate in historic farm work like planting, harvesting, weeding, and so forth.
• Engage in continual development by reading, attending lectures or classes, and learning from fellow volunteers.

We welcome volunteers of all skill levels! All you need is a love for history and a desire to share it with others! Training will be provided by staff. Colonial clothing can also be borrowed from the site for interpretation.
