What you can do to help your Museum!
Did you ever wonder how you could volunteer for your Museum? There are a lot of different ways of helping to keep your history alive. It doesn’t matter if you were born in Scott County or born somewhere else and moved here later. The Museum is your Museum!
Volunteers are needed for following jobs. You can choose floor 1 or floor 2. We don’t expect someone to have to do both floors each week. Most jobs can be done weekly or biweekly. Choose what you enjoy doing.
- dusting
- vacuuming carpet
- cleaning bathrooms (2 on 1st floor) (presently only 1 on 2nd floor)
- washing inside windows (no climbing)
- painting outside and inside where needed
- weeding in flower beds
- mulch put down in beds as needed
- making refreshments for events
- Don’t forget to become a member
- changing light bulbs
- minor repairing
- mowing
Your volunteer work would all be under the direction of Jeanne Abbott and to schedule a time for what you prefer doing, call Jeanne 812.752.1050.

Ghost Tours @ the Museum
Reservations must be made in advance.
Did you know that our Ghost Tours are available any month in the year on Saturday nights? Our most popular month is of course in October, however, the ghosts roam the building all year long! Costs for the tour is $10.00 per person for a 1 1/2 hour tour. Overnight tours are available for $20.00 per person with a minimum of 10 persons attending. Appointments must be made in advance.
Volunteers Lynn and Tracee Lamb along with Museum Member Eddie Cozart are the tour guides. Appointments must be made in advance. Call 812.752.1050 or email: contact@schcam.org for more information about scheduling.
Will you see or hear a ghost? Depends! We can’t guarantee that you will as these tours are not faked. Most people come away with hearing or seeing something. Bring your camera as you may see something later on your photo.
NOTICE: Ghosts in Scott County? Nah! But… by Jeannie Noe Carlisle is back in print and updated. A copy may be purchased by stopping by the Museum. The cost is $5.35 per copy. Add $3.00 for shipping fees.
