The McHenry County Historical Society is seeking a driver for the mobile museum.
“The James,” named after McHenry business man Jim Tonyan who funded the bus purchase, has been used to bring exhibits of local interest to the public at libraries, community events and schools.
Currently the historical society is seeking an individual with a Class C license interested in driving “the James.” Most of the 15 or so scheduled events are held on either Saturdays or Sundays during the warmer months. The “James” does have a stick shift.

Those interested in volunteering must enjoy talking to visitors who come through the traveling museum and undergo a orientation session to familiarize themselves with the bus. Drivers receive mileage and membership to the McHenry County Historical Society.
