Historic Madison, Inc. Volunteers
HMI Volunteers
The success of the organization is a direct result of dedicated officers,
directors, members and volunteers working together to create a viable force
committed to improving the special quality of life enjoyed by Madisonians and
shared with the many visitors to our historic community.
HMI Docent Associates
The Historic Madison Inc. Docent Associates is a group of volunteers consisting
of local men and women organized for the purpose of providing guide service at
the Jeremiah Sullivan House, Dr. William Hutchings’ Office and Hospital, the
Francis Costigan House, the Schroeder Saddletree Factory Museum and at special
events such as the Nights Before Christmas Candlelight Tour and Heritage Days.
The Docent Associates contribute thousands of hours annually to the work of
Historic Madison, Inc.
Weavers’ Guild
A guild of traditional
craftspeople involved in preserving the art of early American crafts. The
Weavers’ Guild produces woven articles, hand dipped candles and soap. The woven
items are produced on a loom in the Sullivan House and are available for
purchase at the Sullivan House. The candles are used during the Christmas
Candlelight Tour of Homes. The Weavers’ Guild is very instrumental in the annual
Heritage Days where students participate on site to learn about early American
ways of life in historic setting.
Garden Guild
The Garden Guild contributes many hours annually to plant and maintain the
appearance of the Talbott-Hyatt Garden. The garden contains many early
plantings, a reconstructed well, and carriage house. The Garden is open from
dawn to dusk year round.
