The museum is located in a town that stopped in time and is simly part of the charm and didly of this town, and the museum is home to the history of Jefferson in its "heyday" the riverport...until the train...

Very interesting small town museum. Included Caddo Indian artifacts and much more. Quite a collection of memorabilia.
