The Bellamy Mansion Museum, one of North Carolina's most spectacular examples of antebellum architecture. Located in downtown Wilmington, the mansion was built for physician and planter John Dillard Bellamy, his wife, Eliza McIlhenny Harriss, and their nine children on the eve of the Civil War. The mansion now serves as a museum of history and the design arts, offering daily tours and many dynamic educational and cultural programs throughout the year. Tour the magnificent 10,000-square-foot home, visit the meticulously-recreated gardens, and walk through the recently restored Slave Quarters, one of very few preserved urban slave quarters in the country. Interested in volunteering? Want to give back to the community? Searching for resume builders? Need professional experience? The Bellamy Mansion Museum needs volunteer tour guides and hosts/hostesses to aid us in our mission. Follow our structured independent training program at your own pace and learn to lead tours or be a reception desk host. Morning and afternoon shifts are available, weekly or every other week. We offer continuing volunteer enrichment trainings throughout the year, plus an active volunteer social calendar. We also need volunteers to assist at special and educational events, in our gardens, and with continual upkeep of the mansion. Please join our team of enthusiastic volunteers and let us know what interests you!If you like people and love history – this may be your most rewarding and fun volunteer job yet! We look forward to meeting you! http://www.bellamymansion.org/volunteer-interest-form.html
