Description

Are you interested in history or education? The Erie Canal Museum is looking for Docent Volunteers!

A Docent is a museum guide. Don't worry- you don't need to be an expert on canal history or museum tours. All Docents are trained by museum staff, before they lead a tour.

Sign up here for Docent training! If you are already a Docent, please join us for a refresher (this is required). There will be light refreshments.

Note: Please check in at the front desk, when you arrive for training. This workshop is free. However, the rest of the museum requires a paid ticket, due to the holiday season.

Erie Canal Museum

The Erie Canal Museum, located in Downtown Syracuse, NY, engages the public in the story of the Erie Canal’s transformative impacts on peoples and places in the past, present, and future. We are stewards and interpreters of Erie Canal related materials and heritage. The Museum is housed in the 1850 National Register Weighlock Building, the last remaining structure of its kind. Visit us for exhibits with interactive displays and original artifacts, and engaging programs. The Erie Canal Museum is a must-see for adults and children of all ages.
