Students who are homeschooled or attending school elsewhere, but whose parents are legal residents of SAD 44 are also eligible.
Over an eight-week period, interns participate in a variety of activities, including house museum interpretation, historical walking tours, exhibit research and preparation, special event and programming development, and collections management. This educational opportunity, which includes a $1,000 stipend, offers important public history experiences and numerous insights into the preservation and interpretation of local and regional history.
