Please join us as we celebrate the rich history of Jefferson County with a free screening of the WPBS original production Discovering Jefferson County. There will be an intermission which will include beverages and desserts. Hosted by the Six Town Chamber of Commerce, Historical Association of South Jefferson, Henderson Historical Society, and Mannsville Historical Society “In Memory of Don Whitney”.
This four-part documentary series explores the early years of Jefferson County, right up to the present. Set inside a modern-day antique store, Rebekah, a new resident of Jefferson County, ventures into the shop to find artifacts of the area. Her search spurs conversation with Wilbur, the owner of the store, who takes her on a fascinating, historical, and powerfully visual journey to the early days when the towns and villages of Jefferson County were explored, settled, and economically established.
