Become a Sikes Adobe Docent or Dust Devil. If you have a special interest in historical education, come be a docent at the Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead. Docents help convey what the pioneer farm experience in Southern California was like, using the Sikes Adobe as the stage. Volunteers learn about the architectural history of the farmhouse, the history of the Sikes family, and the agricultural history of the late 1800s. They also learn tips and techniques for being a docent and learn theory of interpretation. In return, docents commit to leading tours for the public on Sundays 10:30am-3:30pm, and helping with special events like Festive Farmhouse, Valentine Teas, and our upcoming 150th Anniversary Celebration next year.
