From the time one enters through the front door of the Wirick-Simmons House, an air of history is present. All things displayed in the museum are donated or on loan from generous individuals and families committed to the education and preservation of the rich history in Jefferson County. Persons living within the community and those visiting are greeted by fine furniture and artifacts dating almost exclusively from the early to mid 19th century. Rooms within the house are displayed as they might have been seen in the late 1800’s.
