Over 250 volunteers annually give almost 9,000 hours of service to the Historical Society. The Society offers general orientation programs for all volunteers and specific sessions for each department's areas of concern.
Volunteers serve as docents, library aides, collections inventory assistants and special events aides, and perform a variety of office and secretarial duties. Volunteers also steer the Activities Committee, the Members Advisory Committee, and the Rail Barons. Projects that need volunteers include garden upkeep, children's activities, and special events such as "Party on the Portico" and Paint the Town.

If you would like to learn more about history while performing an important community service, please call (716) 873-9644 ext. 323 or email volnteer@bechs.org.
