Docent at the Rosewell Ruins and Visitor Center

Rosewell is the one of the most remarkable examples of a building ruin in the United States. This massive mansion was constructed beginning in 1725 and was one of the largest houses in the British colonies. A fire in 1916 destroyed its interior, but much of its brickwork still stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of 18th-century workers, both free and enslaved. The Rosewell Visitor Center and Ruin are open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays from 10am to 4pm and Sundays from 12pm to 4pm beginning April 3 through November 1, 2026.

You can either provide tours at the Ruins or greet guests when they enter the Visitor Center! And, this year, there's no admission fee! There will be some learning beyond tours with our gift shop our Operations Manager has a step-by-step instructional and will be able to give you tips and tricks in person! With so many days open and possibly more visitors since there is no admission fee, we could really use some more people to help at Rosewell!

Hours for Fridays and Saturdays: 9:30-4:30

Hours for Sundays: 11:30-4:30

These can be in shifts, such as morning or afternoons, which can be scheduled with the Public Outreach Coordinator and the Operations Manager through emails.
