Jefferson museum plans open house

OAK RIDGE — The Jefferson Township Museum, also known as the George Chamberlin House, will have an open house on Sunday, Sept. 11, 2016, from 1-4 p.m.
Admission is free.
The theme for this month’s exhibit is Bookmarks. Bookmarks of all ages, shapes and sizes are displayed in this fun collection of souvenir, handmade, adult, and children’s bookmarks. This whimsical assortment will fit any type of book — from serious to historical, or from a fun summer beach book to a nail biting thriller. You will even receive a free special bookmark just for coming in. Costumed docents will be available to talk about this Victorian home.
The Museum, located at 315 Dover-Milton Road, was entered into the National and State Registers of Historic Places. Visit Miss Elizabeth’s Shoppe located in the original kitchen of the Museum. The Shoppe is packed with new and vintage items for sale, perfect for summer or anytime.
