The
Jefferson Township Museum, also known as the George Chamberlain House, will
have an open house on Sunday, May 4, 2014,
from 1 to 4 pm when  costumed docents will be at the museum.  Admission is free.  This month’s exhibit will continue the theme “Little House in the Valley” with an

the Chamberlains. The Museum, located at 315 Dover-Milton Road, was entered
into the National and State Registers of Historic Places in 2009.  Be sure to visit Miss Elizabeth’s Shoppe located in the original kitchen of the
Museum, which will be stocked with Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books and other books
of local history, gifts from that period in addition to handmade and
handcrafted seasonal items.  Local potter
