The Monumental Moments Living History Tour invites community members to explore Hillsboro Pioneer Cemetery and learn about the lives—and untimely deaths—of early Hillsboro residents from more than a century ago. Guides escort guests through the cemetery, where actors portray historical figures and share their stories.
Volunteer Role
Tour Guides will lead groups of 10+ guests along a set route lasting about 50 minutes. Volunteers will receive a lanyard, training, and an event pamphlet to orient themselves with the map, tour route, and program content. In addition to guiding, volunteers may assist with light support tasks such as delivering water or snacks to actors.
