The JCHS was established in 1967 and incorporated in 1971 as a non-profit organization that the Jefferson County Commissioners have certified as the official historical society for the county. In 2001, the Society began the preservation of the Nathan Greene Edelblute Building and adapted it as the Jefferson County History Center, opening the building on the 200th anniversary of the founding of the county, March 26th, 2004. 2017 marked the 50th Anniversary of the Historical Society. Jefferson County History Center is a non-profit organization founded in 1967. Our mission is to present Jefferson County's history to county residents and visitors through our exhibits, educational programs, and publications.
