The Old Barracks Museum is always looking for volunteers and interns!
​
Due to precautions for Covid-19, we are not currently accepting applications. We look forward to welcoming our volunteers and interns back soon!

​Volunteers
We offer a wide range of opportunities for volunteers, ranging from historic interpretation to office help.
Please fill out the volunteer form to get started!

Internships
The Old Barracks Museum offers several internship opportunities to both undergraduate and graduate students throughout the year. This is a great way for students to gain practical and hands-on experience in a museum setting by working directly with our experienced staff in interpretive, curatorial or development departments.
