Docent Training - January 18th

There are a number of ways for visitors to learn about Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park. They can read the biographical signs posted in the front yard of each building.   They can listen to the cell phone tour of the homes and businesses. But, without a doubt, the best way to experience the park is on a docent led tour. These tours give visitors a look at the interior of the buildings. Inside they can see early twentieth century amenities like wood-burning stoves, oak ice boxes, and a few upright pianos.

We need docents to interpret the amazing history of the historic town of Allensworth for park visitors; families, school groups, scout troops, bus tours, etc...  The next training class is Saturday, January 18, 2014 from 9 am to 4 pm. 

Serving as a docent is your chance to make a difference at Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park; a chance to preserve this great history, a chance to help tell the Allensworth Story.
