Volunteer
Become a Volunteer Tour Guide!
Are you passionate about history? Share your enthusiasm and knowledge with visitors to the Nathaniel Felton Senior House!
The Peabody Historical Society is seeking volunteer guides to lead seasonal tours of the Nathaniel Felton Senior House. Becoming a guide is a fun way to learn new skills while making an important contribution to the life of the Society. The Senior House was one of the first homes built on Mount Pleasant in the Brooksby area of Salem (now Peabody) around the year 1650. Tours are offered on one Saturday every month from June through September and occasionally by appointment. Guides must have excellent communication skills and be able to work with groups of all ages. A background in history or education is preferred but not necessary. All volunteers will receive thorough training. For more information, please call 978-977-0514 or email kelly.daniell@peabodyhistorical.org.
