Volunteer

Each year during the summer months, Heritage House Visitor Center opens its doors to the public. In order to keep the doors open, we rely on volunteer ambassadors who generously give a few hours of their time to support this mission. Whether you have served in the past or are a new participant, we welcome you.

As an ambassador, you sign up for a morning (10:00-12:30) or afternoon (12:30 - 3:00) shift and greet people who come to learn about Westport’s culture and traditions through the videos, books, photos, artifacts, and panel displays in the Visitor Center. The Spirit of Place Art show, which takes place during the summer, provides a beautiful exhibit of local talent.

As a volunteer, you can bring a spouse, a friend, a school-aged child, or a grandchild with you when you volunteer. Wifi is available, the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and, an a beautiful day, you can see sit outside and admire the view of Lake Champlain from the Westport chairs.
