August 14, 2018 - Have you ever told a child something from the past and watched as their eyes lit up with wonder and excitement? It is a feeling one cannot describe, and one everyone should experience. The Mariposa Museum and History Center would like to personally invite you to become a volunteer tour guide for our upcoming 5th grade field trips; no experience is necessary, and we will gladly train anyone interested.
The tours will take place from October 4th - December 14th on Thursdays and Fridays. The museum currently has 14 tours planned for this time. These tours are hosted both in the morning and in the afternoon, between 9:30 A.M. - 2:30 P.M., and you are welcome to be a tour guide for either, or both, shifts. These tour groups will be experiencing the Mariposa Museum and History Center, including the original Gazette building, the Blacksmith shop, the inside exhibits, as well as participating in gold panning, like a true miner!
Our regular 4th grade field trips are also in need of more great tour guides, and these field trips will be held throughout the 2018-2019 school year, approximately September-May.
As you know, a tour is only as great as the guide who leads it, and we encourage you to take part in an experience that will allow you to feel the excitement the children feel as they take a trip back in time.
Please call Janine Clark at (209) 966-2924, or email mmhc@sti.net, for more information. The museum is located at 5119 Jessie Street in Mariposa.
