Museum Jobs – Current Openings

Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum is Pennsylvania’s premier museum of Pennsylvania German history. Founded by George and Henry Landis in 1925, the museum has been steadfast in connecting our guests to the breadth and depth of Pennsylvania German contributions to agriculture, their unique culture, and long-standing traditions. Although this is our mission, our staff is the lifeblood of the Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum.

Open Positions

Skilled Volunteers Needed at Landis Valley!
Are you handy with a froe, skilled with a broad axe, or experienced in building databases? The Landis Valley Farm and Garden Program is seeking skilled volunteers to assist with several exciting restoration and documentation projects:

🔨 Fence & Roof Restoration – Log Farm (Late 1700s)

  • Picket Fence Rebuild: We need approximately 400 pickets split and installed around the vegetable garden. Volunteers with experience using a froe to split wood from logs are especially encouraged to help.

  • Hay Barracks Roof Repair: Many of the beams have rotted and must be replaced. Volunteers skilled in shaping beams with a broad axe are needed to help hew new timbers using the originals as templates.

💻 Heirloom Seed Project Database
We’re building a new database to document the histories, sources, planting data, germination results, and inventory of our heirloom seeds. Volunteers with experience creating databases in Microsoft Access are encouraged to reach out.
