Creating a Vibrant Culture
Our volunteers and staff are ambassadors of this organization, relaying our mission to the public and embodying our values through their daily activities. Thus, it is important that we dedicate time towards ensuring a positive work environment for everyone who is involved in this special place.
Farewell 2019 - Hello 2020!
As we bid farewell to 2019 we are already planning for 2020. Here is a sneak peek at what’s in store. We will keep everyone updated with more details in the months to come!
New Season, New Opportunity
A portion of what makes up the Short Hills provincial park was a part of the original 900 acre land grants that were given to John Brown. We are excited to have the opportunity to explore ways we can reconnect the Homestead to the park through our programing. We already know there are bits of Brown Family history hiding within the park, such as the Brown family graveyard!
Come Help Us Introduce The Brown Homestead to St. Catharines!
On Saturday, June 24, 2017 from 10am to 4pm, the Brown Homestead will be participating in Doors Open St. Catharines, an event where local heritage treasures are open to the public free of charge. While JBHF has made many solid and fruitful relationships since its inception in late 2015, this will be our first official introduction to the public!
Volunteer Opportunities
We currently have several different opportunities for volunteers in diverse areas. Whatever your interest, we have a job for you!
