Many citizens of Kirkwood are proud of the historic and
aesthetic qualities of their city. Anyone can inquire with the
commission what volunteer resources are needed to help with
historic preservation. The commission must approve any volunteer
work that is to be done on designated landmarks or local
historic districts. Suggestions and ideas are welcome. Please
contact the Landmark Commission staff to find out more
information.

Walking
Tours
Do you enjoy having perspective on historic
Kirkwood? Do you find yourself telling friends and family about
it? Do you like walking? Perhaps you can facilitate walking
tours in Kirkwood! The commission has procedures and brochures
detailing four sets of walking tours in historic Kirkwood, but
needs volunteers to show the area to interested citizens and
visitors. Walking tours for each route typically occur once a
season. Duties of a walking tour liaison would include:

tour areas
- Be the contact person for walking tour reservations
- Make an RSVP list of participants for tours
- Walk the tour with participants
Apply anytime.

brochure to educate property owners on how to determine if they
have a Sears House. If you or some friends feel that you
wouldn't mind volunteering by helping with writing the brochure,
we would be grateful for the assistance. Duties include:
- Working with the commission to gain working knowledge of
Sears Houses
