Information about Nineteenth and Twentieth Century architecture, and how the Zimmerman House fits into the state’s architectural history will also be a part of the course.

Training is limited to 20 new applicants, after a short interview. Anyone interested in becoming a Zimmerman House docent should contact Zimmerman House Site Administrator Hetty Startup at 603-669-6144, ext 125, or email hstartup@currier.org.
