About Jennings County Historical Society
Preserving Our Heritage
At the Jennings County Historical Society, preserving our heritage means protecting the objects, stories, and places that connect us to generations past. Our collection includes more than 12,000 artifacts that help tell the story of Jennings County and the people who shaped it. Through exhibits, educational programs, community events, and audio walking tours, we make local history accessible and engaging for residents and visitors of all ages. By caring for these treasures and sharing their stories, we ensure that the history of Jennings County continues to inform, inspire, and enrich our community for generations to come.
Educating Youth
Educating young people is an important part of keeping Jennings County history alive. Through school tours, hands-on learning experiences, exhibits, and engaging stories, we help students connect the past to the community they know today. These programs give children the opportunity to explore local history in a meaningful and memorable way while encouraging curiosity, pride, and a deeper appreciation for the people and events that shaped Jennings County. To schedule a tour, please call or email us!
Creating Community
Creating community is at the heart of everything we do. Through local events, educational programs, exhibits, workshops, and partnerships with area organizations and businesses, the Jennings County Historical Society brings people together to learn, share stories, and celebrate our local heritage. These experiences strengthen connections across generations and create a welcoming space where everyone can feel part of the continuing story of Jennings County.
