All events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
Why not become a supporting member of Kittery's museum? Even better, think about volunteering. Being a volunteer is easy... and it's free. The time commitment is up to you. Our crew is friendly and loves to talk history, so call or email soon.
One possibility, for a few hours a week, is to staff the Museum when it's open. Last year, we were visited by almost a thousand people, from 43 U.S. states and 10 foreign countries! We helped them to learn just a little about Kittery.
Another possibility — with varying time commitment — is to apply for a special project. We can use your acquired experience, skill or knowledge. Want to engage with Kittery history... or help a local non-profit organization? Please tell us!
Aren't you due for a visit to the Museum?
This is a good time to renew your membership and become a volunteer at the Museum. What we do is easy, and the Museum is fascinating. Want to know more? Let's talk at the Volunteer Expo.
