Tour Guides

Gift Shop Attendants

Museum Ambassadors

Visitors want to climb the tower and every climb needs a guide who has learned the script and can share the fascinating history of Nobska and the area.  Only six people at a time can go - so lots of guides are needed.  No charge for the exercise.   


Training and mentorship required.  After completing training, docents would shadow their fellow docents before giving a one-on-one tour with a staff member before they are ready to give tours to the public. This is a great way to keep active in town and share your love of Nobska with the public.

Building Keepers

These historic buildings are a handyman's delight. If you're handy and willing, come join the crew. This tends to be inspection and as-needed type of work with a committed group of people.

Maintenance is never-ending, picking up trash, painting fences, pulling weeds, trimming bushes—it all takes time and care. The view keeps us going and visitors ask lots of questions.
