Volunteering

Volunteers are integral to The Pioneer Settlement’s operations.

Through the Friends of the Pioneer Settlement, volunteers drive visitors around the site in our vintage car, operate the music and photo shops, restore machinery, and help behind the scenes with curatorial work.

The Friends raise and donate funds each year that contribute to the ongoing operation and development of the Settlement

So stop and say hi to the many volunteers on site each day.
