What's happening at the museum

While we are only open during the summer months for regular visits, there are other opportunities to enjoy local history.

  • New Hours in Season 31

    We are changing our open hours beginning May 23, 2026. The museum will be open from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, Tuesday through Sunday for visitors to enjoy our exhibits and/or research local history.

  • New Emails for contacting us

    We are adding new email addresses to make it easier to contact the correct person at the museum. For general questions, please use jvmuseumstaff@jeffersonvalleymuseum.org. For questions about photos (information or to donate) please use jvmuseumphotos@jeffersonvalleymuseum.org. The jeffersonvalley746@ gmail address will be available until mid 2026.

  • Welcome students

    Student groups are always welcome at the museum. Please make arrangements ahead of time (a week to 10 days if possible) so we can make sure enough volunteers are available.

  • Our Town Articles

    If you do not subscribe to the Whitehall Ledger, you can still read back issues of the Our Town articles on this website under the Our Town Articles section. More editions of the articles will be added in the future.

Students welcome

Our volunteers are always ready to share knowledge with students. We have regular visits with Whitehall 3rd graders and have arranged visits from other schools. Contact the museum at least two weeks in advance to schedule a visit - remember, during the off season we only check our phone messages on Mondays.
