Land Between the Lakes serves its original recreational and educational mission through maintaining sites like the nationally-recognized Homeplace 1850s Working Farm and Living History Museum.
Volunteers will travel to this popular site located 90 minutes northwest of Nashville, Tennessee, where they will join HistoriCorps’ preservation experts to learn and apply traditional roofing skills to restore the Homeplace’s iconic Double Pen House. HistoriCorps will provide all meals, tools, training, equipment, and a campsite; it is completely free to volunteer, and no prior construction experience is required.
Volunteers can sign up for one or more week-long project sessions at https://historicorps.org/homeplace-tn-2022-2/.
