Volunteer Training
The Porter House Museum is seeking volunteers, and we’d love to meet you! Do you want to deepen connections in the Decorah community and make new friends? Do you want to further something you’re passionate about while learning something new? Do you love history, art, geology, naturalism? There are so many interests built into our small museum!
​
This training focuses on leading a general 45-minute tour of the Museum Building and offers an in-depth opportunity to learn the history, art, and stories that we share at The Porter House. We’ll meet on the front porch, weather permitting.
Even if you aren’t interested in leading tours, this session gives you a chance to meet current docents and staff and spend time getting to know The Porter House (also enjoy a free tour!).
Meet us on the Porter House Front Porch
Saturday May 3 from 11-12PM
ALL are welcome!
