The Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co. & Museum is a proud sponsor of the Portland History Docents (PHD) program, a collaborative effort that also includes Greater Portland Landmarks, the Maine Historical Society, Tate House Museum, Victoria Mansion, and Fifth Maine Regiment Museum. These six organizations join forces to provide an eleven-week training program for new volunteer guides at each organization’s respective museum site. Each sponsoring organization gains trained volunteers, while students benefit from the information and instruction they receive free of charge. PHD graduates are asked to commit to a year of volunteer time at one of the sponsoring sites of their choice. In return they receive knowledge, experience, and friendships that will last a lifetime!
The 2011 class has graduated. Watch for details here for the 2012 class. In the past, the classes have been on Thursday mornings from February into April or May, depending on snow days!
