Visits to the Homestead are scheduled by request. We can have regular open hours only if we have enough docents available. Free training for volunteers.
To ensure a worthwhile visit, we seek responsible mature people willing to give a few hours to become a docent. You don’t need to be an expert in Rachel Carson or her writings, but willing to adopt our basic script. We can provide additional sources for more information, and there will be help when you need it! Also, meeting people who appreciate Rachel Carson and her legacy – those who come to visit – is an uplifting experience, and a good trade for a little of your time. Contact us for more information.
