Event Details
Interested in being a volunteer at Historic Hanna’s Town or the Westmoreland History Education Center? If so, you are invited to our first volunteer meeting of the year on Saturday, March 29 at 10 a.m. at the Westmoreland History Education Center at Historic Hanna’s Town. We will be discussing various volunteer opportunities and getting to know one another!
There are many ways to get involved to help us preserve and share local history. Volunteers can also work with the public by greeting visitors, leading programs and tours, or helping in the Museum Shop. Volunteers in the Library might help reshelve books and file papers, or help researchers find available resources. There are also behind-the-scenes opportunities including helping with mailings or special events, caring for our collections, or gardening. Volunteer hours are flexible and customizable. No experience is necessary; you’ll learn from knowledgeable staff or volunteers.
Volunteering is a great opportunity to meet new people and share your skills with others – and learn new ones, too. Volunteers are vital to the history education and preservation services of the Westmoreland Historical Society. We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds, including but not limited to high school and college students, retirees, teachers, and history enthusiasts.
Everyone participating in this event is welcome to stay for a light lunch at noon and enjoy the Women’s History Program by Jessica Young at 1 pm at no charge.

Discover how this creative reuse began in the early 1920s, a time when practicality and innovation went hand in hand. Whether you’re a history buff, a vintage fashion lover, or just curious about the past, this is a talk you won’t want to miss.
