HINCKLEY — The L.C. Bates Museum, 14 Easler Road, is looking for volunteers to help with upcoming fall activities, particularly several nights at the museum.
Night Flash Light Tours of the museum will be held Saturday, Oct. 21, Friday, Oct. 27, and Saturday, Oct. 28, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The lights will be low, adding to an atmosphere filled with lots of Halloween decorations and fun, including a Halloween scavenger hunt and bat and owl activities in the classroom. Volunteers are needed Saturday, Oct. 14, to help decorate.
“We will not jump out at you,” organizers promise, “but the museum might have its own magical but creepy atmosphere.” Daytime visits, when it’s less busy and decorations can be more easily admired, are offered from Thursday, Oct. 20, through Wednesday, Nov. 1 during regular hours. Visitors may also explore the continuing exhibitions, including those about local trees and birds. There will be a bird craft activity for visiting children in October. Volunteers can learn about many museum collections by cataloging and researching collections. Please call or email the museum if you have time to help.
L. C. Bates Museum is open from April to mid-November, Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Sunday, 1 to 4:30 p.m. Other times by appointment
Winter hours –November to March — are by appointment or chance, usually Wednesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information or to volunteer, call 207-238-4250 or email lcbates@gwh.org.
