SUMMER 2026 COMMUNITY PROGRAM
Junior Docents
Helping Young Historians Learn, Share, and Preserve Local History 
Registering Now!

 

There's still time to register for the Granger Historical Society's FREE Junior Docent Training!

​

We're excited to offer our first Junior Docent Program this summer and already have four children registered. We'd love to welcome a few more!

​

A docent is someone who helps visitors learn about local history, museum artifacts, and the stories that connect our community to the past. Junior Docents will learn about Granger's history while building confidence in public speaking, practicing communication skills, and experiencing the satisfaction of volunteering in their community. They may have opportunities to greet visitors and share what they've learned during future open houses and historical events.

​

To earn the title of Junior Docent, participants will complete 3 hours of training:

Required:

📅 Tuesday, July 7, 6:00 to 7:00 PM

Choose 2 additional hours from:
📅 Tuesday, July 7, 7:00 to 8:00 PM
📅 Thursday, July 9, 6:00 to 8:00 PM

​

📅Then, on Saturday, July 11 at 9:30 AM, Junior Docents will participate in a mini open house for parents and friends to showcase what they've learned.

​

The program is designed primarily for students entering 4th or 5th grade, but children of other ages are welcome. Younger participants should attend with an adult.

​

📍 Location: Granger Historical Society, 1261 Granger Road

​

This program is completely FREE.
