About the Cabin:

 

The original cabin was likely built by the Cherokee people during the mid 1700's and is representative of a typical Cherokee homestead during the early 1800's.  The cabin was moved from its original location by the railroad, due to the railroad shaking the cabin.

Enthusiasm for history and a desire to educate and engage visitors. Strong communication skills to convey the history and significance of the cabin. Willingness to learn and share information about the exhibit. A friendly and approachable demeanor. Availability for guided tours and a commitment to the docent schedule. (One Saturday a month, or we have a weekday option during the Summer months)

 

What You'll Do:

 

Lead guided tours of the 1700s cabin. Share historical facts and stories about the families that lived in the cabin. Answer visitor questions and provide insights into the cabin's construction, furnishings, and daily life. Ensure a welcoming and informative experience for all visitors.

 

Training and Support:

 

We provide training and resource materials to help you become comfortable in your role as a cabin docent. You'll have the opportunity to work with experienced docents and museum staff to ensure you are well-prepared to lead engaging tours.

 

How to Apply:


If you're interested in becoming a cabin docent for our 1700s cabin, Please email our Education Director jwhitehorn@chattaudubon.org or call 423-892-1499 for more information
