Rock Ford will be hosting a Volunteer Tour Guide Recruitment Event to seek tour guides for its upcoming tour season. The event will begin with an information session in the Rock Ford Barn, followed by a brief guided tour of the mansion. Interested persons should confirm their attendance prior to March 19 by calling the Rock Ford office at 717-392-7223 or emailing office@rockfordplantation.org. 

Volunteer tour guides translate the past into the present and make Rock Ford’s past real for museum visitors. A tour guide can be any person aged 18 years and up. No experience is necessary, and training will be provided by the Curator. Printed materials are also provided so that all guides can become confident, successful and valuable members of this historic site. Rock Ford’s tour guides are offered other volunteer opportunities after they have become an established tour guide. A tour guide should have the ability to be on his or her feet for at least an hour and the ability to climb stairs.
