Join the Putnam Docent Team!

Are you a Putnam Enthusiast!? Do you love sharing your knowledge and talking to new people? Are you looking for an enriching way to spend your free time? Join the Putnam Museum and Science Center in our new docent program. We are creating an enthusiastic group of people who are passionate about learning and sharing stories about the museum’s exhibits and collections with visitors through guided tours.   

Here at the Putnam Museum and Science Center we have something for everyone. As part of the Docent Team, you will receive 9 weeks of training, tour local museums, receive a free museum membership, and learn about the history, culture, and science in our galleries!  

Docents will be trained in leading tours, safety procedures, exhibit content, and visitor engagement. The training consists of lectures, discussions, workshops, readings, and hands-on learning to enhance our visitors’ experiences. Docents support the Putnam’s commitment to preserve, educate, and connect people to the wonders of science, culture, and history.
