DOCENT TRAINING
Serving as a docent can be an exciting & rewarding volunteer experience. It will give you the opportunity to learn more about the history of the Sweetwater Valley and be able to speak with guests who visit the museum. Trainings are scheduled monthly so docents can learn about the current and upcoming exhibits.  All docents will receive a booklet that includes information and photographs you will need to learn this history.  
Docent Led Tours:
Are you curious about the history of the Sweetwater Valley?  Or are you a part of a special group who would like to learn about this history?  The museum offers tours to scout troops, local school classes, church groups, community organizations and individuals.
Call the museum to make arrangements for a tour on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday between 10:00 am & 4:00 pm.  If you prefer another day, let us know.
