COSTUMED HISTORIC INTERPRETER FOR THE TEJANO SECTION HOUSE

Dallas Heritage Village seeks a bilingual individual to teach our visitors about the daily life of a Hispanic woman in early Dallas. The interpreter will portray Mrs. de Léon, the wife of a railroad employee. Mrs. de Léon explains her life in Dallas in the 1800s to visitors of all ages, including family groups, tour groups and 30,000 school children a year. She demonstrates domestic activities including cooking, sewing and gardening, while wearing an appropriate historic costume, which is provided by the museum.

The ideal candidate must enjoy interacting with and educating the public, and must be fluent in both Spanish and English. The character may be portrayed by an adult of any age. The candidate must be physically able to perform light gardening in a small vegetable garden, dusting and sweeping of the small two-room house, as well as maneuvering cookware and tending the fire in the cook stove. The successful candidate should have some knowledge of cooking, but we will provide instruction in the use of the stove. Acting or interpretive experience, an interest in history and a love of teaching are all desirable.

This is a part-time hourly position working 30 hours per week over five days. Costumed interpreters work during the museum’s two living history seasons each year, and are off during late summer and after Christmas. Our interpreters enjoy a friendly working atmosphere and great visitors.
