Tolland Jail Museum Internship Orientation

The Old Tolland Jail Museum is about to begin the sixth year of this successful program.  Orientation sessions will be held on Saturday, May 17 beginning at 10 AM and Sunday, May 18th at 2 PM (choose one) at the Tolland Jail Museum shed display area, 52 Tolland Green, Tolland. If you love history, are interested in the story of your town, or are looking for a place to volunteer this summer, come learn more about this amazing opportunity!

 Designed for 7th through 12th graders, the Student Intern Program involves students in all aspects of a working museum: from accessioning, designing displays, and maintaining the museum, to participating in Sunday events, historic demonstrations, and giving tours.  Hours of commitment are summer Sundays 1-4 and/or Wednesdays from 9-noon.  It’s a great experience and a lot of fun!  Successful students earn community service hours and a letter of recommendation.
