Once a year, we open the doors to our Collections Building and invite the public behind the scenes to see objects not normally on display, discover some of the unexpected things in our collections, and learn how we store and care for more than 500,000 items.
JCHS staff Reed Barry and Ellie DiPietro will lead five small-group tours, sharing stories about Jefferson County history along with a look at the work that goes into storing, preserving, and caring for the collection. Past tour favorites have included historic newspapers, taxidermy, the original Haller Fountain sculpture, and a vintage hearse.
This is the only day of the year our collections storage areas are open for public tours! Reserve your spot today.
