Are you someone who enjoys giving back to your community? Do you also enjoy learning history?
Fort Larned National Historic Site has opportunities to volunteer with all aspects of the park operation.
Park Ranger Ben Long said volunteers can help with living history presentations, desk operation, leading tours or maintenance.
"We usually have a pretty core group of event volunteers, but we're looking for more regular volunteers," said Long. "People who might be able to help out weekly or bi-weekly, more local folks that might be able to help out with more of the day-to-day things."
Fort Larned is looking for folks of all ages and skill levels to make the visitor experience enjoyable.
"We have a baker who volunteers over our Memorial Day weekend," said Long. "He'll be in the bakery actually making bread. We usually have some ladies that come out and make food for some of those events too."
