Gift Shop (Part-Time)

Weekends and Special Events

Our Gift Shop is also the admissions hub for the Museum. You’ll be the first smiling face guests meet—selling Museum admission tickets, processing retail sales, answering questions, and keeping shelves tidy and stocked. This role is ideal for people who love greeting every guest and staying busy when crowds pick up.

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Enjoy talking with visitors and providing great service
• Can handle admissions and retail transactions accurately
• Stay organized during busy event days and weekends

Restaurant (Part-Time)

Flexible

Join a close-knit crew that takes pride in serving quality food to our guests. Responsibilities vary day-to-day and may include guest service, kitchen support, and general operations. Cooking experience is a plus (not required)—we can train the right person.

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Like teamwork, hustle, and keeping a clean workspace
• Can switch gears between guest service and back-of-house tasks
• Care about consistency and food quality
