St. Croix County Historical Society is seeking volunteers for our 8th Grade Hudson History Tour on Friday, October 5th. This is the fifth Annual History Tour and includes a walking tour for students in the morning followed by history booths and activity at Lakefront Park in the afternoon. The History Tour is a great opportunity to share Hudson’s history and heritage with the students.
The Historical Society is seeking volunteers from 8:00 am to noon to help with the walking tours and/or volunteers to help at the history booths from noon to 2:30 pm. Volunteers will receive training and instructions.
Morning tour volunteers will walk and talk about former Hudson residents who lived in the houses along their route. Scripts are provided for volunteers so no memorization is needed. Some of the stations do not require walking; the tour guides remain at a particular house and the students will walk past house.

Do you have history related crafts or skills such as woodcarving, quilting, soap making that you can share? The Historical Society is also seeking volunteers to present demonstrations at the history booths.
