SUMMARY:Chester Inn Museum Open House
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever visited the oldest commercial building in Tennessee’s Oldest Town. If not\, the Chester Inn State Historic Site and Museum is hosting an Open House on Thursday\, March 9th from 6:00 pm until 7:30 pm. Come by and check out the historic site after hours and view our new exhibits. If you have visited in the past\, we encourage you to come back and visit again. The Open House will also be the perfect opportunity to learn about becoming a volunteer for the museum. \n  \nDo you love history? Do you love talking to people about history? The Chester Inn Museum is currently seeking any and all volunteers to fill a variety of positions. In addition to giving tours and staffing the museum\, we also need volunteers to work with our archival collection\, processing historical documents\, and organizing artifacts. We are looking for Town Tour guides to offer tours exploring the history and architecture of Jonesborough. Guides are also needed to give tours of Jonesborough’s historic cemeteries. We invite you to come learn more about these exciting opportunities at our Open House. \n  \nThe Chester Inn Museum is open March and April on Mondays\, Fridays\, and Saturdays from 11-6 pm\, and on Sundays from 1-5 pm. From May-October the museum has regular hours 6 days a week before returning to a 4 day weekly schedule in November and December. \n  \nThe Chester Inn Museum is a state-owned historic site and is staffed by the Heritage Alliance\, a local organization dedicated to education and preservation. The museum is an integral part of community outreach\, programming\, and interpretation for the Heritage Alliance. Being a volunteer at the Chester Inn is a great way to get to know your neighbors while also interacting with visitors from around the world. Tens of thousands of people come through the museum every year. \n  \nThe Chester Inn features a first floor museum that has a mixture of permanent and temporary exhibit space. The permanent exhibits include wall panels focusing on the origins and evolution of the inn and the town of Jonesborough. The temporary exhibits feature a rotating mix of artifacts\, photographs\, and other items from the Heritage Alliance’s archival collection and cover a wide range of topics that usually center on local history or putting regional history into a larger context of national and international trends. \n  \nThe 2nd and 3rd floor of the Inn includes a tour of three restored rooms: a dining room\, parlor room\, and lodging room\, all restored to what they would have looked like in the late 19th century. The first floor museum is self-guided\, but the restored rooms’ tour is led by a trained guide. \n  \nThis Chester Inn is funded under an agreement with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation\, Tennessee Historic Commission.
