As a Volunteer at Fulham Palace you are able to benefit from reciprocal visits to a number of museums and other places of interest. However, the way we organise these is changing as we will now be offering set dates for visits. You will be able to sign up to these, online or by getting in touch directly with Fran, Volunteer Development Officer.
We will update you as new dates are confirmed right here on the blog, you can also keep an eye on the calendar page of the website for all upcoming volunteer events and visits, View here.
The first of these visits is to the Benjamin Franklin House on Friday 9 October.
'In the heart of London, is Benjamin Franklin House, the world's only remaining Franklin home. For nearly sixteen years between 1757 and 1775, Dr Benjamin Franklin - Scientist, diplomat, philosopher, inventor, Founding Father of the United States and more - lived behind its doors. Built circa 1730, it is today a dynamic museum and educational facility.' find out more here.
We will be meeting at 12.45 for a 13.00 viewing of the Historical Experience show. Following this we will be able to see a short, interactive demonstration of the Glass Armonica, Franklin's musical invention.
The maximum number of people for this visit is 15, so initially we are offering this to volunteers only. If you would like to bring someone who is not a volunteer, do still let us know and we will be able to inform you closer to the visit if this will be possible.

As always, do let us know if you have any comments, questions or suggestions for future reciprocal visits.
