So not surprisingly, the Dallas Historical Society welcomes volunteers to assist with our various programs and events. There are a variety of opportunities available.
If you love Texas History and you like to give tours there are two different types of opportunities available through the Dallas Historical Society at the Hall of State. Depending on available time, the two options are for a general tour guide (weekends and adult groups) or for a more in-depth training docents are needed to lead school groups and specialized interest groups. Tour guides have a generalized knowledge of the Hall of State. Docent training requires ongoing training in order to keep abreast of the ever-changing events and exhibits, as well as Texas Educational requirements
