Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

There are 3 sites under the auspices ofThe Jefferson Museum of Art & History, namely the old City Hall, the Rothschild House and the Commanding Officer's Quarters. The museum tells the history of the Native Americans, early settlers and maritime activities. The City Council still meets on the second floor of the 1892 City Hall building. The lower floors house the museum, and the jail cells in the basement are invariably a talking point. The courthouse is now an art gallery of regional artists' work. Monthly and rotating exhibits fill the other spaces. From May to October the museum offers historic walking tours around Port Townsend.
