🌞 Summer Volunteer Call! 🌞

The Newcastle Village and District Historical Society is looking for summer volunteers to help support our museum, programs, events, and community projects.

Hours are flexible, and high school students can apply their volunteer time toward their required community service hours.

This is a great opportunity to get involved locally, learn more about Newcastle’s history, and support a community organization.
