Founded in 1982, the Jonesborough/Washington County History Museum and Archives collects artifacts, documents and photographs to help tell the stories of the land and people who formed "the mother of Tennessee".
Our collection of artifacts, newspapers and other ephemera focuses on the social, cultural and economic history of Jonesborough and Washington County, creating a fascinating historical record of the region. Our extensive photographic collection spans the period from 1850 through the 1980 and features a number of photographs from early Jonesborough photographers L.M. Keen and O. L. Hensley.
We invite you to visit our gallery space located in the Historic Jonesborough Visitors Center at 117 Boone Street and coming in October, our new Main Street exhibits in the ground floor of The Chester Inn, a beautifully restored historic site built in 1797.
