Special Project Host

Thompson's Mills State Heritage Site

Needed From May 1, 2019
Needed To September 30, 2019

Oregon's last water powered mill is looking for a host or host team with significant gardening and landscaping experience to help with  restoration and maintenance of the historic grounds and gardens. For over 150 years the property has not only been a hub of milling activity but was also home to the families that operated the mill. The children played on the lawns and helped grow their food and your help is needed to bring back their way of life. The position would also serve as back-up mill guide on busy days and when we have school groups or events.

If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind hosting opportunity with a variety of duties, brand new host sites, full 50-amp hookups, free on-site laundry, free unlimited wifi, fresh eggs in a quiet and beautiful setting you might want to learn more about this host position. 

Please email Tom Parsons at tom.parsons@oregon.gov and let me know what experience you have with gardening, landscaping, maintaining landscaping equipment, and working with the public and what attracts you to the position.

The position will be 20-25 hours per week. The timing and duration of this opportunity are quite flexible. Preference will be given to those who are most qualified in gardening and landscaping.
