- Provide visitor information
- Maintenance and Stabilization of historic structures.
- Lead tours of the ghost town.
- Merchandise sales at visitor center.
- Assist with the development of interpretive signs and exhibits.

The BLM will provide lodging in town and a small stipend. Lodging is in a primitive log cabin with a propane refrigerator, cook stoves, and lights but no electricity or running water.
Volunteers will be insured against injuries sustained while on the job through federal workman’s compensation and will be covered under laws related to the Tort Claims Act.
Volunteer positions are available from June 1 to September 30. The BLM requests a minimum of one month’s commitment.
