Volunteer Opportunities
Docents to share history with students and community members.
Do you enjoy working with students grades Kindergarten through 5th grade?  How about sharing history with members of the community as they wander back in time at the Village? 
Training is provided for anyone interested in the Village tours or events.

Food sales at community events.
Mmmmm...the smell of freshly-popped popcorn!  The Friends sell popcorn and lemonade at events such as the summer Music in the Park series and the fall Heritage Festival.  No knowledge of history is needed...just a willingness to bring in revenue for our organization.

Membership drives.
Can you spend an hour or two at our membership table during the music series or community events?  Our organization is volunteer driven and we always need more members to keep the organization going.

Maintenance and/or Restoration
Our historic buildings are always in need of maintenance, whether it is a loose board on the plank road that needs to be re-anchored or a major re-painting project. 

And if you have experience with restoring fragile
artifacts, we have a fantastic collection donated by members of the community.

If you are interested in becoming part of our fun community of volunteers, call the Village Office at 517-347-7300 or e-mail me at: merhistvill@yahoo.com
Helping hands are always needed on Music in the Park evenings.
It takes a village of friends to maintain a Village.
