4.5Jefferson Historical Museum(216 reviews) - Fun and informative. Tuesday: 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Speciality Museums
Great way to learn the history of Jefferson. 4 floors of history. This was the old courthouse and you can still see the signs above the doors telling you which was the jury room, court room, etc. The first floor was also the old post office. The docent was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the town. All the exhibits were donated, so you get a bit of everything, even portraits donated from NY and Calif. The best part is admission gets you into the miniature railroad inn back. The mini railroad search and fid was fun.See more..

I could have spent a lot longer perusing all the great artifacts, dolls, and decorations that Mrs. O'Hardy has collected over her lifetime. I especially liked that the Bonnie Blue section. Mrs. O'Hardy was happy to share her stories about how she collected some of the items. A delightful visit.See more..
