The Old Barracks is looking for volunteers to help with some Spring cleaning on the grounds. Grab some gloves and a rake and come join us as we get ready for another season of programming at the museum. We are looking specifically for some people who might be able to offer the use of a truck for hauling away some larger logs, etc. There's plenty to do around the property! Volunteers should provide their own work gloves and rakes and we will provide lots of coffee and donuts!
