The annual Jersey County Historical Society Apple Festival traces its roots to the numerous apple orchards in the region, the role the apple has played in the development of Jersey County, and as a means to celebrate the annual fall harvest. This family oriented event has something for everyone - young and old alike.

 

Historical tours of the Cheney Mansion, Lone Star School, the Log Cabin, museum and Flautt Addition at only $5.00 per person

Historical tours include the Cheney Mansion and the Lone Star School. Built after the Civil War, the historical Cheney Mansion is the site of the Jersey County Historical Museum. Recently renovated, the Mansion features many original Cheney family artifacts as well as vintage clothing, furniture, toys, and other items of historical interest. Behind the Mansion is a new Research Center, Gift Shop, and additional exhibit space.

Built in 1877, the Lone Star School was moved to the Cheney Mansion grounds and restored as it originally was in the late 1800's by the Jersey County Historical Society, who realized the historical significance and the importance that one-room rural schoolhouses played in the County’s rural educational traditions. The school, furnished with desks and other items appropriate for one-room schools of the era, will be open for tours and will give visitors an insight of what it was like in school days past.
