Jefferson County Historical Society

It is with regret that we announce that the museum will not be open to the public until it is clear that the COVID-19 threat has abated enough to allow us to reopen. The health of our staff and volunteers as well as that of the public is very important to us, and being closed is right now the best way to help protect all of us.

The research library is open by appointment only. Until further notice face masks are required for those who want to use the research library and will be available for those who do not have their own. To arrange an appointment please use the contact form on the "Research/Library" page.

Everyone involved with the Jefferson County Historical Society sincerely hopes that you are well and safe.
