Our purpose is to engage people of all ages in the history of Jefferson County. We collect and care for relevant objects, images and documents, and we invite county residents and visitors to research our materials, interact with our exhibits, take part in our programs, and read our publications in order to encourage an understanding of our past and present and a vision for our future

The Jefferson County Historical Society can provide your class with the following "Hands On History" programs either at the History Center or in your classroom if it is located in Jefferson County.


Students having fun and learning with hands on items

Our Current Programs include:

  • In This House Children and how they lived in the 19th century (Grade 2-3)

  • Where Did the People of Jefferson County Come From? Immigration patterns (Grade 4-5)
  • From Forest to Farm to Factory Economic development of Jefferson County (Grade 4-5)

    All Pennsylvania students must now complete a Graduation Project. The History Center staff is available to work with students in a variety of areas: drama, writing, exhibit design and construction, and more. If you have an idea, come in and discuss it!

    Passport to the Past is structured for students in grades 3 through 6. Students experience a special day in history and have fun while doing so. These activities are scheduled during Brookville Area School District Flex Days afternoons. Cost to children of members is $2 and for children of non-members $5.


    We are interested in working with teachers to:

  • Design curriculum-related field trips

  • Make available on our website or at the History Center appropriate primary source material for student use

  • Bring a museum educator to your classroom

  • To suggest appropriate county resources

  • To collaborate in writing grants for possible classroom/museum projects


    In addition to our work with teachers, we are happy to provide tours and programs, either here or at another location, for Scout groups, church groups, and other organizations.
