Internship Open House May 20

     The Tolland Historical Society is once again sponsoring an internship for students in grades 7 through 12 this summer at the Old Tolland County Courthouse and the Old Tolland County Jail and Museum.
     Interested students are invited to an open house and tour on Saturday, May 20 at 10 a.m. behind the jail museum on the Tolland Green.
     This is a valuable community service opportunity. Students will learn all aspects of the workings of a museum from behind the scenes to interaction with the public. 
    Interns will: 
❖ Design displays & exhibits
❖ Catalogue museum collections
❖ Give tours
❖ Create activities for Sunday events for the public
❖ Participate in historic demonstrations
❖ Preserve historical artifacts
❖ Network with visitors
    The interns will earn community service hours and will receive a reference letter.
