Annual Tour Guide Spring Meeting

​The Heritage Center will offer a training and orientation for volunteers interested in becoming tour guides for their historic sites on Wednesday, April 24th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
 
Tour guide volunteers will receive an overview of the Heritage Center and its buildings, which includes a "walk about" with current guides. The docent training workshop is free and open to the public. Current and past docents are welcome to join the new volunteers to update their knowledge and share a few pointers.
 
Visitors come from near and far to The Heritage Center to learn about how people lived here in years past. Last spring, over 900 children plus teachers, assistants and guests visited the Heritage Center.  The tours begin in the Pavilion with an introduction to early New Richmond, farm life and the 1899 cyclone display. Camp 9 School is always a favorite, probably because it is most connected to their lives. Other popular buildings are the Immigrant Cabin, Ubet Store, History Shed, Bell Tierney Farm House and the Blacksmith Shop.
 
Come to the spring meeting, share your love of history and our community, and learn how to be a Heritage Center Tour Guide.
