The historic resort communities of French Lick and West
Baden are cooperating to make it easier for people to find their ideal
volunteer experience.
At a free Volunteer Open House on Wednesday, April 18,
2012, those over 18 can browse the opportunities available at four nonprofit
organizations: French Lick West Baden Museum, French Lick Scenic Railway,
Indiana Landmarks, and Visit French Lick West Baden (the convention and
visitors bureau for Orange County). Refreshments will be served at the open
house, 5-7 p.m. at the Visitors Center in French Lick, IN.
Staff and volunteers from each organization will discuss
the various ways volunteers can participate in delivering entertaining and
educational programs to visitors. The organizations need volunteers as tour
guides, museum store assistants, office assistants, tourism ambassadors and
special projects volunteers.
Visit French Lick West Baden provides visitor information
via phone, email and in person at the Visitors Center where tourists receive
assistance with trip itineraries, obtain information about local and regional
attractions, and pick up maps.
Indiana Landmarks, a statewide historic preservation
group, offers guided walking tours of the historic French Lick and West Baden
Springs hotels and operates Landmarks Emporium, museum stores located inside
each historic hotel.
The French Lick West Baden Museum offers visitors a
glimpse into the past of the historic resort towns and features “the biggest
little show on earth,” a miniature diorama of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus that
once occupied winter quarters in French Lick.
The French Lick Scenic Railway, located in the historic
French Lick Depot, preserves, restores and displays railroad history. The
railway operates train excursions, including a new Murder Mystery event and The
Polar Express, a popular winter ride.
