Volunteers are crucial to the work of the foundation! 

Hatfields and McCoys Foundation and Museum is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.  It depends on the volunteer efforts of the community to keep the Hatfield Homeplace, Feud Sites, and Museum operating.  There are many ways volunteers are needed.  

We couldn’t exist without volunteers in a wide variety of important roles including:

• Fundraising
• Organizing and implementing community events
• Archiving and preserving documents and historical objects
• And many others

Contact the Society’s volunteer coordinator for more information about how you can get involved at info@HatfieldMcCoyFoundation.org or call (304) 896-1212. If you don’t see an area listed that you feel your gifts and talents could be used, we would love to hear from you.

Flexible hours are available, and training is provided.
