Howard Steamboat Museum

Tour Guide Classes

Docent training classes are scheduled to begin January 13th and continue through March 14th. Meeting times are Wednesday afternoons from 3:00 to 4:30. The nine sessions will be repeated on Sundays (1:30- 3:00). You may attend either session. The only thing we would like in return is that you volunteer a minimum of four hours per month over the coming year. Docents enjoy meeting and greeting people from around the world and are essential for keeping the Museum running smoothly.
