Volunteer: Help Needed for Museum of Durham History at Farmer's MarketsThe Museum of Durham History is making moves this summer: we would like to attend 2 different farmer's market, each once a month, with a marketing table and some traveling exhibit materials. For this to happen, we would need lots of volunteer help to set up, staff, and break down. These would be both the Durham Farmer's Market at Durham Central Park and the Black Farmer's Market at Durham Tech. The first date would be April 26th at Durham Central Park, with 2 volunteer shifts: 8:30am-10:30am, and 10:30am-12:30pm. The second date would be May 4th at Durham Technical Community College, with 2 volunteer shifts: 11:30am-2:30pm and 2:30pm-4:30pm. The setup would include a tent, a table and chairs. We would have marketing materials available for people to grab, as well as sign-up sheets for our newsletter. Most importantly, these farmer's markets will be a way for us to show off our Faces of Durham traveling exhibit. It is our goal this summer to expand into public spaces and community gatherings by bringing our historical content directly to folks outside the museum.
