Jefferson County Museum
Our new exhibit is shaping up! We've installed the majority of the artifacts, labels, and exhibit panels on the early history of Jefferson County. That empty space in the corner of two of the photos is left open for our new light-limiting exhibit case! Once we install that next week, we'll fill it with some of the rarest documents in the Museum and we'll be ready for our exhibit opening April 4!If you haven't reserved your tickets for it yet, you can do so here: www.facebook.com/events/1916557392431913We're also having an event next Saturday, April 5, for kids to get a chance to see the exhibit and have a storytime about the American Revolution--no reservations required: www.facebook.com/events/959497772840637@followers ...

Jefferson County Museum
Our new light-limiting exhibit case is being assembled! Right now the base is being completed, but soon it will look similar to the last photo. With the press of a button, a dark film on the glass will dissipate to reveal some of the Museum's rarest documents. A letter from George Washington, an early copy of his will, and a land grant signed by Thomas Jefferson will be among the items on display in this case as part of our new exhibit, made possible in part with a matching grant from the West Virginia Humanities Council. If you'd like to support our grant matching funds and see the case in our new exhibit, tickets are available now for our 60th Anniversary exhibit opening! www.facebook.com/events/1916557392431913@followers ...
