SanCarlosVillagers

The San Carlos Villagers were formed in April 1949 to preserve the history of San Carlos. The goal was to collect documents, photos and memorabilia that reflected San Carlos' rich background and safe-guard it for the future. The Villagers compile, collect and assemble letters, photographs, personal articles and relics of historical interest detailing the city's heritage.

The City Council appointed the Villagers as docents for the Museum in 1981, after the San Carlos Lions Club gifted the completed Museum Building to the city.

The Villagers are made up of volunteers from the community, who serve as Museum docents and handle the day-to-day affairs of the Museum.

The Villagers have meetings on the 2nd Tuesdays in January, April, July, October and December. These meetings are held at the Museum.

Any resident of San Carlos is invited to become a Villager. Villagers are required to docent three times a year at the museum and must complete a docent training session familiarizing volunteers with Museum procedures. The training lasts approximately 30 minutes. Docents choose the days they want to work their 3 hour shifts.

If you are interested in helping the Museum, but are unable to commit to being a docent, become a "Friend of the Museum."
