JEFFERSON COUNTY HISTORICAL
SOCIETY
RESEARCH CENTER
JCHS Mission: To
actively discover, collect, preserve, and promote the heritage of Jefferson
County in the State of Washington.
Jefferson County's history is a patchwork of stories from individual lives. Personal letters, diaries, family trees, scrapbooks,
oral histories and photographs all tell first-hand stories of lives we can only
imagine. Maps, ledgers, business correspondence, directories, newspapers, and
event programs reveal threads within and throughout the community. This research facility provides a safe home and easy access to the materials that literally document Jefferson County’s heritage.
