Warwick - The Warwick Historical Society needs volunteers to act as docents (or tour guides) for the society’s museums during the summer months. Interested individuals are encouraged to attend a workshop at the education center at Baird’s Tavern, 105 Main St. across from the post office on Tuesday, June 12, from 6 to 8 p.m. The museums n Baird’s Tavern, 1810 House, the Shingle House, and the Old School Baptist Meeting House n will be open every Tuesday and Saturday from 2 to 4:30 p.m. starting July 1. Each building will be assigned a seasoned docent as well as one or two newcomers, depending on the needs of the building.
