Two handicap accessible floors, abounding with local history displays to inform and amaze you with Jackson County history from when the county was founded to the present day. See many artifacts in a visitor-friendly floor plan.

All artifacts have been donated by local residents. Displays change often, so every visit is a new experience. A separate building on the county fairgrounds houses one of the state's largest displays of old and antique farming equipment. A short walk to the "shed" is a tour in itself. Programs are presented often; ask for a schedule.

The local geneological chapter shares the site with an extensive research library. Knowledgeable staff is available for information to help make sure your tour is more pleasant.

When in Eastern Iowa, be sore to stop by the JCHS Museum at the fairgrounds. It will be worth your time.
