Volunteers Make the Difference

The Geauga County Historical Society hails to those who volunteer by adding their special skills, knowledge, and talents to the organization.

By volunteering for the Geauga County Historical Society and Century Village Museum the benefits are twofold. "As you give, so shall you receive"

There are numerous volunteer opportunities throughout the year at the Geauga County Historical Society. Volunteer during one of our many festivals or special events that include Pancakes, In Celebration of Quilts, Civil War Encampment, Legends of the Old West, and the Apple Butter Festival; just to name a few.
