What You Will Do as a Docent

• Docents who serve at the Joseph Knight and Josiah Stowell homes are there to have their testimonies strengthened and to try to impart to all guests who come there a spiritual experience regarding the sacrifice, the consecration, and the valiancy of some of the earliest members of the restored Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 
• The homes have been restored and preserved by a group of faithful Latter-day Saints who hope that they can be used to help spread the Gospel message and build faith in those who visit the homes. 
• As a docent, you will mainly give tours of the Josiah Stowell and Joseph Knight homes. The two homes are 2 miles apart. 
• Tours are conducted generally between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. However, some people may show up sooner or come later. You may have very little or no warning about when a tour will come. 
• We will provide information about Joseph Knight Sr and his family and how to present the information for tours.
• You will be expected to keep the homes presentable. This will include sweeping, dusting, and other light housework. You will be responsible for mowing the lawn around the Stowell home. If you have handyman skills, you may use them to make minor repairs to doors, windows, bathrooms, etc. Tools are available.

Where You Will Live and What the Accommodations are Like

• You will stay in either home, the Knight or Stowell home. 
• We try to make the homes serviceable and comfortable while preserving their historical nature.
• The kitchen is well-stocked with plates, bowls, cups, glasses, serving bowls and platters, silverware, utensils, pots, pans, dishcloths, dish towels, etc. 

What You Can Expect to Pay for and Where to Get What You Need 

• You will need to pay your own way to New York. 
• You will have to buy food and cook your own meals or eat out.
