(WWJ) If you've got a thing for Michigan history, this may be just the summer job for you.

The Michigan History Center is hiring historical interpreters — some costumed — for more than a dozen seasonal positions at museums and historic sites across the state.

There are open jobs in both the Lower Peninsula and the Upper Peninsula, beginning in May or June and ending in mid-September, with schedules ranging from 25 to 40 hours per week.

The Michigan History Center, a division of the Department of Natural Resources, operate 11 museums and historic sites across the state as well as the Archives of Michigan, heritage trail programs, and the state historical marker program.

The best candidates for these 17 positions will be interested in "expanding skills, gaining a variety of experiences and working independently in some of Michigan’s most beautiful, storied places," the History Center says.
