The number of staff at WCHS is very few. Most of the people who work tirelessly, in the effort to preserve and present the history of Warren County, are volunteers.
We're offering a free membership to all volunteers who commit to 12 hours of service through the end of the year. If you'd like to join a fun group of history lovers, fill out the form on the volunteer page or call us at 513 932-1817. |
