Jeanette Wheeler interprets "Charity Bolton" on the National Colonial Farm

Saturday, February 18, 2012–If you have ever had the desire to spend quality time in 18th century Maryland, please join the Accokeek Foundation for a colonial interpreter volunteer open house.  Let us introduce you to the idea of historic interpretation and convince you that, “YES! Those 18th century clothes do make you look good!” We’d love to get to know you, learn about your interests, and present the interpretive programs we offer for your consideration.

Colonial interpretive volunteers may gain experience in:

Historic foodways program
Guiding tours of the colonial farm site
18th century gardening: kitchen garden
18th century agricultural work: tobacco and corn
Historic restoration of period buildings
Weekend performances
