| Aspect | Part Time Historical Tour Guide | Part Time Museum Docent |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Knowledge of history, communication skills | Knowledge of museum exhibits, customer service skills |
| Work Environment | Outdoor or indoor historical sites, walking tours | Indoor museum galleries, exhibit areas |
| Employer & Industry | Tour companies, historical sites, tourism industry | Museums, cultural institutions, education sector |
| Search & Comparison Intent | Tour guiding, historical tours, visitor engagement | Museum education, visitor services, exhibit interpretation |

Historical Interpreter / Tour Guide — Part-Time | Brookgreen Gardens Starting at $13.00/hour | Murrells Inlet, SC
Be the storyteller. Be the guide. Be the reason someone falls in love with the Lowcountry.
Brookgreen Gardens is more than a garden — it's a living, breathing celebration of nature, art, and history.

If you love people, love stories, and love the Lowcountry — you'll feel right at home here.
About the Role
We're looking for an enthusiastic, people-loving interpreter who thrives on sharing stories and sparking curiosity.

- Transform scripted material into memorable, interactive storytelling experiences
- Lead engaging tours highlighting the rich culture, history, and natural wonders of the Lowcountry
- Operate tour vehicles and pontoon boats while sharing interpretive content
- Welcome guests, collect tickets, and maintain accurate daily records
- Attend interpretive training sessions and collaborate with the Education team to enhance programming
What We're Looking For
- A natural communicator with an outgoing, energetic personality
- Prior experience in public speaking, tour guiding, teaching, or entertaining crowds
- Curiosity about local wildlife, plants, and cultural history — or a genuine passion to learn
- Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions
- Confident operating large vehicles across varied terrain
- High school diploma or equivalent required
- Valid SC driver's license
- Availability at least three days per week, including weekends and holidays
Why You'll Love Working Here
- Work in a stunning outdoor setting where every day brings a new story
- Complimentary household membership to Brookgreen Gardens, plus complimentary tickets for friends and family
- Free daily access to Huntington Beach State Park (per carload)
- Employee discounts on food, retail, and Keepsakes gift shop merchandise
- 403(b) retirement plan with employer match
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
