We need tour guides!
Guided tours have been so popular this year, our poor tour guides are being run ragged! Why not join our team?
Tour themes range from the Civil War, Springs Era, to modern technology and the earliest days of our county's settlement. You needn't be an expert on history, we provide you with all the information. Want to try something new and rewarding? Become a tour guide for the Waukesha County Museum!
Call Marjorie Mahler at 262-521-2859, ext. 221 to volunteer today!
