Watch our NEW orientation film!
We are pleased to introduce our new orientation film for the 2026 season. This film provides essential background and context to help visitors better understand our story before beginning their tour. It is available for viewing onsite in our Exhibit Building and can also be accessed in advance through our website.
The film has a runtime of approximately 13 minutes. As tours begin promptly on the hour, we recommend arriving early to allow sufficient time to watch the film beforehand. For added convenience, visitors may also view the film prior to their visit via our website, YouTube, or our social media channels.
Volunteers Needed for the 2025 Season!
The Dr. Samuel A. Mudd Society is looking to add volunteers for the 2025 season and beyond! If you are interested in helping us fulfill our mission of creating a quality historical experience for our visitors, please contact us today! No previous experience is needed! We look forward to hearing from you!
