I really enjoy volunteering at Root House because they really do appreciate their volunteers and make each and every one feel like they are really needed and appreciated. It is a lot of fun learning about history and teaching other people about it. I recommend this place to everyone who has an interest in life in the mid 1850's in an average middle class home not a huge High Victorian or plantation home. I really enjoy it because it is a place where I think the every day person can relate and see how someone in the same financial and social class over 150 years ago.
