Welcome to the magical setting of Old World Scandinavia where volunteers bring history to life! Become a tour docent, welcome guests into the Fogelbo home and share the enchanting heritage & collection Ross Fogelquist acquired over the last half century. 
Volunteers are asked to learn the basic histories of the Fogelbo Steiner cabin, the Fogelquist family, and some collection items. There will be a training for first time docents by our lead docents, members of the Fogelbo heritage Committee, prior to their first tour. Depending on the time of year or tour theme, Scandinavian traditions are implemented. 
Docents cover certain areas of the residence, such as the kitchen, main living area, or upstairs items and need to be familiar with several collection items in specific areas they interpret. Historical information and significance are available for docents to study. 
Tours occur quarterly for two consecutive days. Typically Friday & Saturday in Spring, Early Summer, Fall & Winter. Any time you can donate is greatly appreciated.
The tour docents’ goal is to engage, connect, and hopefully, bring the magic to life. The Fogelbo Heritage Committee & tour docents aim to convey enthusiasm for Scandinavian heritage and history.
