Scottsdale Historical Museum Volunteer

Volunteers greet guests who come in to the museum & tell them a bit about Winfield and Helen Scott, our founders. We invite them to complete a self-guided tour and let them know if they have questions, they can ask. The Museum is in the Little Red Schoolhouse, 7333 Scottsdale Mall; the oldest brick building in Scottsdale. The Little Red Schoolhouse was built in 1909 as a 2 room schoolhouse. Museum hours are: Wednesday-Saturday 10am to 5pm (shifts are 10a-1:30p and 1:30-5) and Sundays 12pm to 4pm; (October-April). September & May the hours are 10am to 2pm Wed.-Sat. and 12p-4p Sunday. The museum is closed in June, July & August
If the volunteer is interested in Scottsdale history; we have a group of "archivers" who go through all the donations and old documents the first and 3rd Mondays each month from 1-3pm.
