Pioneer Day

October 11, 2026
Waterloo Farm Museum

Thank you for signing up to volunteer for Pioneer Day—our largest event of the year! Your time and enthusiasm help bring 19th-century farm life to life for hundreds of visitors.

Please read the important information below before selecting your shift:


Volunteer Check-In:

• Please arrive at the designated shift time and check in at the volunteer table located near west admissions. We have built a buffer of 15 minutes into your scheduled start time. So a 9:45 shift actually starts at 10:00. This gives you time to get familiar and a buffer if you are running late.

• You'll receive your name tag and any last-minute instructions there.


Parking:

• Volunteer parking will be in the designated grassy area behind the Realy Barn. Look for signs and a parking attendant to guide you.

What to Bring:

• Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes.

• Some roles may be outdoors.

Perks:

• Volunteers will receive lunch provided by the museum.

There are no shifts available at this time.
