Jefferson County IL Historical Village with Museum and Interpretative Center


The Village and the Museum, with their buildings and contents, reflect life from the beginning of Jefferson County.

Among the furnished buildings, one finds log houses of the 19th century, a log church, a log jail, a one-room school, functional blacksmith and print shops, a display of period merchandise in the general store, and a variety of medical equipment in the Medical Building.

A brochure with a village map and descriptions of attractions is available at the Welcome Cabin.
