Docents may sign up for weekly, daily, or monthly shifts. They will never work alone, and no prior experience is necessary, and there is no maximum age limit, but docents should be at least 18 years old. All docents will be provided training and a script. Docents are also needed during the annual Swedish Christmas Open House held the first two weekends in December.

About AAHP and OAHM Oscar Anderson was a prominent business owner responsible for the early development of Anchorage, circa the late 19th and early 20th century. Volunteering at the museum is the perfect venue if you love history and enjoy sharing the history of the house, the Anderson Family and Anchorage with visitors.
The Oscar Anderson House was built in 1915 in a bungalow style of architecture, unlike many prefabricated buildings of the time. It belongs to the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) and is operated in agreement by AAHP. The museum is located within Elderberry Park at 420 M Street, Anchorage.
