- HISTORIC PRESERVATION STARTS WITH YOU & YOUR PASSION -

The Eagle River Historical Society welcomes members and the general community to participate more fully in the work and activities of our organization. Remember, saving history starts with you and the rest of us, so Stand in the Gap! The range of involvement goes from a single project, to commitment as a committee chair, and if there is some skill that you wish to hone or gain let us know and we can see what we can do. Our volunteers are full year or seasonal, weekly or occasional, with a large range of interest in many areas. 

Docent at our Museums

Join the front lines in sharing our heritage by Docenting at any of our museums. Working the front desk or being a tour guide is the best way to connect people to our history!

Steward Over the Collection

With thousands of historic artifacts under our care across two museums, we are always looking for people who can help sort, preserve, and keep record of our collection.

Design Exhibitions

In between the layers of history, there are endless topics & perspectives yet to be explored. Through research and artifacts, help develop ways to engage & educate.

Expand our Research Databases

One of our cornerstone services is to provide information to the public for personal research, which we do through digitizing archival and collection materials.

Outreach & Event Planning

Our presence in the community is heavily reliant on outreach to the public. Do you like public speaking or planning large scale events? We could always use an extra hand!

Writing & Research
