Docent Information
What is a Docent? It is surprising how often that question comes up, but a DOCENT is a guide, hostess, and storyteller. A Docent is also responsible for ensuring the safety of the collection, the building, and visitors during their shift.
Being a Docent requires training provided by the Docent Director several times a year, and these scheduled training sessions are announced through the DUP Company and Camp meetings. NEW videos are available for basic Docent Training. These are for new members but also a refresher for members who have not served in a while.
