Volunteer tour guides (we use the National Park Service term "docent") are expected to memorize material written on Hearthstone Historic House to provide an approximately 60–75-minute tour to visitors of the museum. Docents will be given a guide plus other interactive tools to get them acquainted with the history of the museum, and to present different historical topics about the house in each of its different themed rooms. Tours are mostly targeted towards adult visitors but may also occasionally include school-aged group tours. An ideal volunteer docent is interested in the early history of Hearthstone and the Fox Cities, enjoys public speaking, and is willing to provide tours in an informative, yet entertaining format!
