FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 24, 2020 The Society of the Founders of Norwich, owners and operators of the Leffingwell House Museum in Norwich, CT would like to extend a public invitation to all lovers of history, historic house museums, and local heritage of Norwich – are you interested in becoming more involved with your community? Do you love meeting new people? Are you seeking opportunities to create meaningful experiences with members of the public while working in one of Norwich’s most historic landmarks? If you answered yes, we’d like to invite you to meet the Board of Managers and fellow volunteers at the Leffingwell House Museum to learn more information about becoming a volunteer museum docent on March 14, 2020 at 11:00 am! Originally built in 1675, the Leffingwell House Museum is one of Norwich’s most valuable historic assets and its mission is to educate the visiting public on the early founding history of Norwich, CT. Being a docent at the Leffingwell House Museum is both fulfilling and exciting and provides volunteers a number of opportunities to engage with the public, our museum collections, and the history of the house. The museum also conducts special events every month during our operating season from April to October. This opportunity is perfect for anyone with a background in education, history social services, or anyone who has a passion for local Norwich history looking for new ways to give back to their community. Over the next five years, the Society of the Founders of Norwich is looking to grow the Leffingwell House Museum and our program offerings and we want you to be a part of it! If this sounds like the experience for you, we encourage you to join us on March 14, 2020 for a meet and greet with the Board of Managers and current volunteers. Refreshments will be served!
