Dear Heidi,
Strange tales, local legends, and a few sweet treats are coming your way this October!
As the days grow shorter and Halloween draws near, we're embracing the mysterious side of Jefferson County history. Join us for eerie local tales, dig into the truth behind a long-told
local legend, and bring your little ghosts and goblins to the museum for some Halloween fun. We also have a couple of exciting reasons to celebrate! Read on for what's happening this
October, plus some very happy news from JCHS… if you dare!

A Little Celebrating!
We're thrilled to share two recent honors for JCHS and the newly imagined Museum of Art + History!
Washington Museum Association Award of Excellence
JCHS was recently honored with an Award of Excellence from the Washington Museum Association, recognizing the newly imagined Museum of Art + History. We're so proud of the staff, partners,
supporters, artists, community members, and many others who helped bring this transformation to life.
Best of Jefferson County
And closer to home, Peninsula Daily News readers named the Museum of Art + History Best Museum and Best Place to Impress an Out-of-Towner in the 2026 Best of Jefferson County!
We're incredibly grateful for both recognitions, and especially grateful to everyone who visits, participates, supports our work, and helps make JCHS what it is.
