Volunteer tour guides staff the Jason Russell House and guide visitors through its historic rooms. They tell stories about the events of the day Paul Revere rode through Arlington, and British soldiers fought American patriots along today's Massachusetts Avenue, as well as inside and outside the house.
As a tour guide, you will learn about the history of the house and its contents, as well as the history of Arlington. You will meet visitors from all over the world, and teach them about the role played by Arlington in the early moments of the Revolution. Guides work in pairs, so you will have a mentor to support you. Hours are between 1 and 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays between April and October. You choose your assigned days. No prior knowledge or experience is necessary, and you will be trained.
A special training day is scheduled for Saturday, April 5th at 10 a.m.
