Interested in learning more about architecture, history, and Frank Lloyd Wright? Would you like to share the knowledge you gain with visitors from around the globe?
Graycliff’s guided tour program is led by a group of enthusiastic volunteer docents who uniquely interpret our historic site. Our docents lead both scheduled publicly available tours, as well as group, school, and specialty tours. Graycliff docents present our lakeside property to visitors, animating the many stories of this very special place. Volunteering in this capacity is an excellent opportunity to learn all about Frank Lloyd Wright, Ellen Biddle Shipman, the Martin family, and the specific context of Graycliff. You’ll perfect skills you already have, while developing new ones, and join a community of talented and passionate individuals. We are confident you will be inspired and enchanted by Graycliff and have a lot of fun along the way!
Graycliff offers in-person docent training classes that will instill confidence in you to lead a tour at Graycliff with knowledge of the architecture and history. In addition, you will learn skills on how to give a great tour and provide an exceptional guest experience. Docent training takes place annually each spring, but we encourage you to let us know of your interest no matter the time of year.
