Docents sought to conduct tours

California State Parks is recruiting volunteers/docents for training in conducting public tours of the historic Adamson House and tours of Malibu Lagoon.

The training will be held in 3.5-hour sessions on Wednesday afternoons for six weeks from Aug. 16 through Sept. 23.

Trainees hear from expert speakers on topics such as Rindge/ Adamson family history, architecture, artists and tile design, Chumash history and the biological diversity of the lagoon.

Docents will also learn techniques on how to conduct effective tours. They will be expected to commit a minimum of eight hours a month to give tours.

In addition to the minimum commitment, many other volunteer and enrichment opportunities are available including periodic lectures and museum visits.

The Adamson House is a 1930 Spanish Colonial Revival residence adjacent to Surfrider Beach, built by Rhoda Rindge Adamson and her husband, Merritt Adamson. The Rindge/Adamson families have a significant place in SoCal history.
