UA’s Moundville Park Hosting Volunteer Training

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The University of Alabama’s Moundville Archaeological Park is looking for a few good volunteers.

Park staff will host a Volunteer Training course beginning at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 31.

This open-ended volunteer opportunity offers those interested in the fields of history, archaeology, Native American folklore and more a chance to advance their educational interests in a museum atmosphere, while enhancing the Moundville site experience for daily Jones Museum visitors.

In addition to learning how to interpret current knowledge about archaeology, Mississippian Indians and the Moundville site, trainees will get a personalized guided tour of the museum.

Breakfast fare will be served. Time permitting, a hands-on make and take activity will also be included as part of the program. To register for the free program, call or email Kenric Minges at 205/371-8732 or lkminges@ua.edu.
