Greenmount Homestead

Greenmount Homestead operates with the help of a group of dedicated volunteers, under the guidance of museum staff.  We offer a wide variety of opportunities for volunteers to engage with history and help care for the site and its collection. Some of the ways our volunteers help out at Greenmount Homestead include:

• Offering guided tours to the public
• Assisting staff with ongoing conservation projects
• Caring for our heritage gardens
• Digitising objects from the Cook family archive
• Researching the history of Greenmount Homestead

Our volunteers are provided with training and support from museum staff to learn new skills and broaden their knowledge.  We strive to operate to museum best practice standards, and support our volunteers in educating and entertaining our visitors.

We’re always looking for new volunteers to join our Greenmount Homestead team. If you’re interested in learning more about our local heritage and sharing this with others, we encourage you to contact us by registering your interest via Council’s Volunteering at council page.
