This job consists of the conducting of a themed, interactive tour entitled "Addy at Ohio Village." This program is a joint collaboration between the Ohio Historical Society and The Pleasant Company, the creator of the American Girls Collection and the American Girls Museum Program. The program focuses on children and accompanying adults. The Addy Tour Guide assumes the role of an escaped slave and recounts his/her escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad while leading the program participants on a specialized tour of the Ohio Village. Costumed in appropriate period-clothing, the Guide will provide an orientation to the program, conduct an interactive hands-on tour through the Ohio Village, and role-play with other staff members.
