Historic Newton fosters a meaningful community experience by preserving and learning from Newton's past. The Jackson Homestead and Museum, the Durant-Kenrick House and Grounds, Historic Burying Grounds Preservation, and the Newton Historical Society are all part of Historic Newton. The Jackson Homestead and Museum is a nationally-accredited museum and documented station on the Underground Railroad. Visit this 1809 Homestead and view its collection of photographs, paintings, maps, manuscripts, and building histories. The museum welcomes groups and offers programs, holiday events and has many hands on activities for children. The Historical Society coordinates an annual House Tour not to be missed!
