We are looking for teachers and tour guides to help run our field trips this coming May!
We will provide costumes to wear during the field trips, but you are welcome to bring your own if it is pre-approved beforehand.
We want to stay as historically accurate as possible so as to educate properly!
Teachers & Tour Guides will be given a $50 stipend per field trip.
