Jefferson County Historical Society Hall of Fame Members
Each year the Jefferson County Historical Society selects an inductee into the Hall of Fame. Nominations are open from anyone and are voted upon by the JCHS Board members. The inductee is selected based on his or her work in helping to preserve historic buildings of Jefferson County, preserving stories of events and of outstanding personalities connected to the history of the county. A plaque with the name of the Hall Of Fame members is on display at the Jefferson County Courthouse.
