Love Railroad History or Victorian Homes? Volunteers Needed

FREMONT, CA — The City of Fremont, East Bay Regional Park District, and Railroad Museum at Ardenwood are partnering to host an upcoming Volunteer Recruitment Fair on Sunday, August 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Ardenwood Historic Farm. Prospective volunteers will receive an orientation and behind-the-scenes introduction to volunteer opportunities as a Patterson House Docent, Railroad Volunteer, and Farmyard Docent.

If you have an interest in leading Victorian-era Patterson House tours, helping out on special event days, participating in farm chores, demonstrating historic cooking techniques, helping to restore historic railroad cars, teaching arts and crafts, or becoming a member of a railroad crew, then this event is not-to-be-missed.

This full-day event offers insight into each volunteer opportunity.

Learn more about Ardenwood Historic Farm and how you can be a part of the history.

Reservations are required, so be sure to reserve your space by August 14. For reservations, contact Pia Loft by email at ploft@ebparks.org or by phone at 510-544-3284. Lunch is provided.
