Friends of Bondville Model Village

What is Friends of Bondville?

Friends of Bondville is more than just a volunteer program—it’s a community. We are incredibly lucky to have a group of passionate and dedicated people who help keep Bondville Model Village looking its best. From painting and repairs to creating new miniature scenes and tending to the gardens, our volunteers bring their skills, creativity, and love for Bondville to everything they do.

We value every person who contributes their time, and we love seeing friendships form as volunteers work together to maintain and enhance our magical little world. Whether you’re lending a hand with a paintbrush, fixing up tiny details, or simply enjoying the camaraderie of like-minded people, being a Friend of Bondville is all about teamwork, creativity, and making a difference.

If you’d like to get involved, we’d love to welcome you to our growing community!
