The Connecticut Antique Machinery Association, Inc. musuem village was incorporated in 1984. Through the years,  member/volunteers cleared the land, laid the track for our railroad, and put up the exhibit buildings. The museum continues to grow.

The Connecticut Antique Machinery Association, Inc. is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization,  which is run by volunteers and has no paid employees.

Volunteering at the Connecticut Antique Machinery Association museum offers a level of involvement beyond that of the casual visitor.  The museum has volunteer programs for everyone young and old.  Those who work during the week can get involved at CAMA on the weekends.

As a volunteer, you become a member of the museum family and learn about the agricultural and industrial machinery that made America great.  As a volunteer, you can also learn how our antique machinery operates, and eventually, operate it yourself.  Volunteer activities enable you to participate in and support the museum's education and research programs while meeting and sharing time with people of similar interests.

Our volunteers provide an invaluable service to the museum.  Since there are no paid staff, this group of talented and dedicated individuals is responsible for the entire operation.

Volunteer assignments are varied and range from administrative responsibilities to equipment restoration and operation.  Volunteers make up our docent staff and learn while they are teaching others. 

The museum relies on the volunteer staff to interpret and protect its collection while enhancing the visitor's experience.  The volunteer's commitment is critical to the museum's operation and success.  Joining the volunteer program promises to be rewarding, challenging, and enjoyable.

Many volunteers do hands-on work equipment restoration and operation while other do administrative or clerical work.  Some volunteers work behind the scenes with exhibit design, grounds keeping, or building maintenance.  Others are out front working with the public.  Many volunteers perform a wide variety of functions.

All volunteers will receive training where necessary.  Much of the training is obtained one-on-one with experienced staff members, much like an apprentice.  Prospective volunteers should be willing to commit to at least one or two days per montb.  Some volunteer positions have specific requirements, but for most positions, no specific prior work experience or special skills are needed.
