Jefferson County Museum Website »
The Jefferson County Museum, located in Port Townsend's historic 1891 city hall, is one of four museum facilities operated by the Jefferson County Historical Society. The beautifully restored building contains the oldest operating city council chamber in the state.
The Jefferson County Museum interprets the history of Jefferson County from its earliest native inhabitants and European explorers, through its colorful Victorian era as a major seaport and port-of-entry, to its present-day renaissance as a refuge for artists, poets, writers and retirees.
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
