The Witch House accepts interns for summer, fall, winter, and spring internships. Interns report to the Director, and assist in a variety of aspects involved in the running of a small historic house museum. Areas of focus include education, collections management, facilities management, publicity and marketing, and gift shop management. Specific projects may include, for example, developing and running educational programs for families, schools, and adult learners; working on visitor accessibility; or researching specific areas of the house's collection. Interns may also be assigned tasks in the production of "Eerie Evenings," a seasonal theater festival that takes place over six nights in October. While the house is open to the general public from May through early November, interns also deliver 1-2 tours of the historic house a day and provide breaks for visitor services staff.

Internship start dates, hours, and duration are flexible. Usually summer interns work from mid-May through mid-August and fall interns work from mid-August through early November. Both full and part time internships are available. A limited number of stipends are available for full time interns. Preference may be given to those with some weekend availability.

Qualifications: Qualified candidates will either have completed a BA or currently be enrolled in a BA-granting program. Interests in American history, art history, architectural history, and/or theater are helpful. All majors will be considered.
