Seasonal Museum Guides

The Norwich Historical Society and the Society of the Founders of Norwich are seeking 1-2 seasonal museum guides to be stationed at the Leffingwell House Museum, Dr. Daniel Lathrop Schoolhouse, and the Joseph Carpenter Silversmith Shop and History Museum. The museum guides will report to the staff person in charge of the site(s).

This position includes a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 hours/week and requires weekend work Saturday and Sunday. There is the option to be “on call” or a substitute in the event that a museum guide is unable to attend their shift. The salary is $18.00/hour. Orientation will begin in April 2024 and the opening season will run from May through October 2024. It is understood that the museum guide is working as an independent contractor by their own business and not as an employee.
