Farragut Museum seeks volunteers, offers gift shop
Farragut Museum in Town Hall, 11408 Municipal Center Drive, is seeking volunteers to serve as docents. Docents welcome guests to the museum and provide information about the exhibits. Two-person shifts are available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays.
“Volunteering at the museum is a great way to give back to the community, to better understand Farragut’s history and to get to know other like-minded citizens,” said Kristi Vining, Historic Resources coordinator for Town of Farragut.
A training manual is provided to all volunteers, and there is no required minimum number of volunteer days. To volunteer or for additional information, e-mail museum@townoffarragut.org.
Farragut Museum offers a small gift shop, with items available for purchase, including many books on local history such as “Full Speed Ahead.” “The Battle of Campbell Station,” “Not So Long Ago” and “Footprints of Appalachia.” Local author Kristen Combs’ book, “100 Things to Do in Knoxville Before Your Die,” also is available.
Local vendors from the Renaissance Farmers Market offer local favorites: Mann’s Honey, The Santiago Company candles, Sherry’s Design woodwork and Pygmy Harbor soap.
