Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the THC!

Volunteers are essential to the THC. With your dedication and support we can reach many people with a desire to learn more about Texas history and its historical sites throughout the state of Texas. 

You can participate in a special event or service project as an individual or as a group or join the site Friends group. Site host volunteer opportunities are available at some sites.

The THC agency is devoted to telling the historical facts about Texas history and events. Our mission is to protect and preserve the state’s historic and prehistoric resources for the use, education, enjoyment, and economic, and benefit or present and future generations.

We offer a variety of opportunities for volunteers such as educators, living history actors, internships, administrators, researchers, fundraisers and many more. If you are a student, retiree, enjoy charitable work, interacting with others, improving lines of communication, being a role model, educating our future leaders and caring for your community, this is the place for you!

Volunteer Testimonials

"Seeing the excitement and interest on the face of a guest who has just heard you tell the history and effect the people of this place had on the lives around them, makes the time you give completely worth it."

– Katy, Volunteer

"Making history live and allowing kids of all ages to see how interesting it is does my heart good."

– Bobbie, Volunteer

"We are so lucky to have this absolute gem in our own backyard, and it brings me so much joy when people in our community rediscover it. I grew up visiting historic sites with my family, and those memories really stuck with me. We are drowning in technology today, and it is so refreshing to spend an afternoon teaching families parlor games, helping them make their own ice cream, or even just pointing them in the right direction while they ramble down the trail and enjoy the fresh air."

– Andrea, Volunteer
