Are you passionate about gardening, history, or both? We invite you to volunteer at Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site, where history community, and horticulture intertwine.

  • Community Garden volunteers: Behind the house is a beautifully maintained Colonial Revival garden, and we need your help to keep it thriving! Enjoy the serenity of the Colonial Revival gardens and make a lasting impact in your community.
  • Event Operations volunteers: Music, poetry, and community events take place throughout the year, and your help makes them possible! Calling all social butterflies to assist with setup and interact with visitors during events.

No experience? No problem! We provide all necessary training, safety instruction, and tools. Apply using the links below.
