The
Jefferson Township Museum, also known as the George Chamberlain House, will
have an open house on Sunday, April 6,
2014, from 1 to 4 pm when costumed docents will give tours of the
museum. Admission is free. This month’s exhibit will continue the theme “Little House in the Valley”. Christine O’Brien of the Jefferson Township
Library will be reading from Laura Ingalls Wilder’s literature at 2:30 with a

Road, was entered into the National and State Registers of Historic
Places. Be sure to visit Miss Elizabeth’s Shoppe located in the
