Weekday Building Guides work primarily with the over 25,000 school children that visit our museum every year. Weekday building guides are volunteers willing to work with children of varying ages and are enthusiastic about sharing concepts and information with bright young minds.

Weekend Building Guides give tours of the Village buildings to our visitors. There are many different buildings to choose from, including six different houses, the church, school, railroad depot, hotel, Doctor’s Office and Main Street buildings. Building guides will also have lots of opportunities to expand their historical knowledge.

Special Event Volunteers help with our monthly events, assisting with craft projects or helping staff with demonstrations and activities. Special event volunteers frequently interact with families as they experience the museum. No minimum commitment or advanced training is required for special events. This is a great way to get your group or organization involved with DHV!

Special Talent/Living History Volunteers have a unique talent or skill to share with Dallas Heritage Village and our visitors. We’re looking for seamstresses, gardeners, musicians, and crafty people, but the possibilities are limitless. Let us know what you have to offer, and we’ll find a place for you.

Curatorial Volunteers help care for the collection. Inventory, light cleaning and data entry are ongoing tasks necessary for the caring of Museum artifacts. Curatorial volunteers are trained and scheduled by the Curator of Exhibits and Collections and work during weekday office hours. Please contact Evelyn Montgomery directly if this interests you (214-413-3666 or emontgomery@dallasheritagevillage.org).
