About Fenton History Center

Housed in the stately 19th-century mansion of former governor Reuben E. Fenton, the Fenton History Center connects visitors of all ages to the rich history of the Jamestown area with museum tours, archeological outings, and children's programs. Visitors unearth mysteries about their family past through the genealogical and local history research center, or study their hometown's place in America's story with a wealth of exhibits. The museum's mementos include everything from a funeral card for Prince Louis Napoléon to letters from soldiers serving in the Civil War and World War II to photos of Lucille Ball, who was born in the city in 1911.

I happen to have a daughter who loves historical places and local history and she thought this was a great experience! The newer Underground Railroad exhibits in the basement were AMAZING! We had a fun time exploring on a rainy day last Summer. We will definitely go there again !

Four floors of high-quality exhibits detailing the early history of Jamestown. I took two 11-year olds and they were enthralled. They had to explore everything. Sparked great conversation.
