Volunteers

Community Service|Skill Building|Teamwork|Oral History|Life Lessons

Volunteers contribute the time and talents to operate and maintain the museum. They help ensure that our local history and culture continue to be honored and enjoyed by present and future generations. Their kindness and generosity is much appreciated and valued. The museum cannot operate without them! Please consider joining our volunteer team and see what a difference you can make.

​​​​Volunteering involves more than just picking up trash and dusting:

  • It's an opportunity to learn/improve skills by working with previous volunteers

  • Develop teamwork habits that carry over to personal/professional lives

  • Seasonal volunteers are members and/or long-time residents of Barron County who enjoy sharing knowledge and experience with new volunteers, passing on valuable life lessons and Barron County history.

  • Volunteers working at the museum for even a day go home knowing more about their community, Wisconsin and U.S. history.​​​​​

  • Kids are welcome to join in the fun.

Prior to each season:

  • Grounds need to be cleared of all debris

  • Grounds need raking and mowing

  • Buildings need to be opened and cleaned

  • Events need to be planned

  • Exhibits need to be dusted and updated

How can I sign up?.....................Come to the museum ready to go!

​

We'd love to know in advance if we can count on you to join us so that we're sure to have enough supplies and opportunities available - if you know for sure you want to help out at the museum, either during the event on May 4th or any time during cleanup week,

 

Call at 715-458-2080 or e-mail us at museum1@chibardun.net to get a jump start on your volunteer experience! If you are planning to come with a group, you can also let us know about how many people and vehicles you think you'll be bringing, and we'll be sure there is plenty of parking available. If your group would like to make a day of it, we also have ample picnic, restroom, and indoor seating facilities to accommodate you. We hope you'll join us!

Volunteering at the Pioneer Village Museum brings with it a host of benefits for everyone involved.

The Pioneer Village Museum is a non-profit organization, meaning we rely on volunteers, members, and donors to continue bringing the best possible experience to the Barron County community and visitors from all over - sometimes even other states or countries!

Helping keep the museum in top shape is an important part of that experience.
