With your support, we share Wilton and its collections through tours, lectures, and exhibitions. For our 2023-2024 fundraising campaign, we are committed to a goal of $160,000. Your gift to Wilton House Museum supports our mission to be a gathering place for discussing life in Virginia, displaying decorative arts, honoring historic preservation, and understanding how the past continues to shape life in America today. Together, we will advance our vision to serve as Richmond’s premiere historic house museum.

Since our opening, countless people have helped research and interpret Wilton’s rich history to the public via daily house tours, special events, and educational programs. We have the pleasure of working alongside a diverse number of museum interns and volunteers and are always looking to add to our team of people passionate about bringing Wilton’s history to life!
Working at Wilton House Museum means being immersed in history and architectural significance every day.
Wilton House Museum is proud to offer seasonal internships to students and recent grads who seek to gain hands-on experience in a small museum setting. Interns work side-by-side with professional staff to learn to research, interpret, and care for public history in new and meaningful ways, and can be geared towards each individual’s own interests.
Do you have a passion for early American history? Looking to share (or sharpen!) your historical interpretation skills and knowledge with the curious public?
Leading guided tours at Wilton is one of the greatest gifts we receive from our volunteers. Volunteer docents work at Wilton for as few as 4 hours a month, welcoming visitors and leading 30-minute guided tours in one of the finest examples of Colonial Virginian architecture still standing. Previous knowledge of Wilton and its history is not required, only your desire to learn and lead.
