Volunteer Opportunities
The Belchertown Historical Association has a variety of volunteer opportunities and we are reaching out to our community with an ‘ask’ to help us make history come alive for today and for generations to come. Your time and talents are of great value – whatever you can spare would be met with great appreciation!
Please review the list with family and friends and let us know what works for you. Contact our President Tom Stockton 323-0946 to get next steps.
