Montclair Historical Society's museum docent program trains
volunteers to lead groups of adults and children through the
Crane House museum. With their interactive and engaging
tours, the active and demanding life of the 18th and 19th
centuries becomes a reality for Crane House visitors.
Candidates with a genuine appreciation of all visitors, both
adults and children, and who are able to convey information
in an enthusiastic and articulate manner, are welcome to apply.
Our docent-training course is offered biannually, free of
charge. For more information, please call our executive director
at 973.744.1796 or e-mail us at mail@montclairhistorical.org.
The Montclair Historical Society offers unpaid internships for undergraduates, recent graduates and graduate students who are studying history, conservation, education, museum studies and other related fields. Internship programs are tailored to students based on their academic background, professional skills, interests and career goals. Interns participate in the ongoing work of the Society and complete specific projects or portions of larger Society initiatives. A minimum commitment of three months for 15 hours a week is required.
