Do you love history? Are you a “people person?” Do you enjoy gardening? The U.S. Forest Service and the Grey Towers Heritage Association have some opportunities for volunteers at Gov. Pinchot’s Grey Towers National Historic Site, 151 Grey Towers Drive, Milford in Pike County.
An orientation session is planned for May 13 from 9:30 a.m. to Noon, to introduce potential volunteers to a brief history of Grey Towers and the various volunteer opportunities, including tour guides, special events, gift shop, cemetery restoration, gardens, trails, and archival work in the museum.
Commitments can vary from a few hours a week to several days per week during the visitor season, which runs from Memorial Day through December. Special incentives, including a dinner at the Finger Bowl outdoor dining table, are offered to Grey Towers volunteers.
Anyone interested in learning more about volunteering at Grey Towers is encouraged to attend the orientation session. Pre-registration is required by calling 570-296-9630 or send an email to: greytowers@fs.fed.us.
