Testimonials
"I love to do the 'Front Greet' job. It is a great chance to meet people from all over the world-and give them a big dose of southern hospitality. Working behind the scenes in the library and archives has given me an opportunity to better appreciate the preservation of history. I had no idea that museum work entailed so much more than the just attending to the artifacts on display." -Sallylou, Volunteer since 2008
"I sure love the Museum. For me it's the local history that is so personal to Nashville ... and it is history that's happening even now. It's fresh and fun and new for each school tour group I take around." -Joe, Volunteer since 2004
