Our Team

Our amazing team of part-time volunteers are committed to helping others. We take our convictions and turn them into action. Our volunteers have spent countless hours creating a museum of life in Bethany in our main building. Many more hours have been spent in organizing our archives of records, photographs, diaries and other memorabilia pertaining to the people of Bethany through the years.

At the Russell farm, volunteers have been working for over ten years on both the house and barns, cleaning out, fixing roofs, replacing timbers, painting siding, etc. Much work has been done, and a faithful group of volunteers continue to work at the farm. In good weather, you will find them there every Saturday morning. You will also find us at the Bethany recycling center–the revenue from cans and bottles helps to keep us going.
