The Jay County Historical Society and Museum is governed by a fifteen member Board of Directors. A term of three years is served by each director with one-third of the Directors being elected each November during our Annual Dinner in November. The historical society and museum have experienced a rapid growth over the past several years with a current membership of over 600. Members receive a monthly newsletter containing both historic and current information. The museum’s collection includes more than 10,000 artifacts, with files and books of recorded history in the 100,000’s. The genealogy library has one of the largest county collections in our area. Visitors from all across the country come to the museum almost daily to do genealogical research, seek answers to historical questions, or view displays.
