TRINITY COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The objective of the Trinity County Historical Society is to discover, collect, preserve and disseminate knowledge about the history of Trinity County. It is an organization of volunteers and all of its activities and accomplishments are due to the interest and effort of its members. The Trinity Pioneer Association and the Society of Old Settlers, an organization consisting of pioneers who arrived in the community prior to 1860, preceded the Historical Society.
The J.J. Jackson Memorial Museum and the History Center are projects of the Society for research and learning for the public use. Fund-raising projects are undertaken by this organization on behalf of the museum and new ideas are always welcome, and your continued membership helps to further these efforts.
New members are always needed to help preserve Trinity County’s rich historic heritage. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Historical Society, please contact the J.J. Jackson Memorial Museum at P.O. Box 333, Weaverville, CA 96093.

J.J. JACKSON MUSEUM
The J.J. Jackson Memorial Museum came about when Ray Jackson, brother of Jake (J.J.) left his collection of antique firearms in care of his brother while serving in World War I. These formed the nucleus of the present large museum collection. The museum was first housed in the courthouse basement, but soon outgrew the space. In 1968, the present museum building was dedicated. The exhibits range from those of the earliest inhabitants of the area through the gold mining era and on to the present day.
