Volunteer Education
We at Sharlot Hall Museum would not be able to sustain our business without the help of our volunteers. We know that it is extremely important to offer educational materials to our volunteers, as well as encouragement for our volunteers to present their own educational presentations. We have different classes throughout the year offered to our volunteers that cover many different historical aspects as well as training on the inner workings of a museum.
