St. Leonard, MD – Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum (JPPM) is accepting applications for its 2015 Docent Program. If you are a lifelong learner and would like to interact with the archaeologists, educators, and historians who bring Southern Maryland’s past to life the docent training program is for you.
The seven-week training course will cover many topics including an introduction to archaeology, the War of 1812, JPPM’s Indian Village, and much more!
