Greet, orient, and assist visitors with information regarding museum programs, area attractions, and services. Perform specific activities and assist with hands-on demonstrations related to that particular interpretive site. Through special request, interns have the potential to complete an independent research project under the guidance of museum staff.

Some interns will be given specific research projects to assist with during the course of their internship and have a stronger focus on research and methodology. While others may focus on public history and education. This is a highly competitive internship!
