Jack Alcorn, the Jewell County Historical Society (JCHS) president, announced early last week the society’s museum, located at 118 North Commercial in Mankato, will remain closed for this season.

The museum committee of the JCHS will be working on museum projects, painting, restructuring and organizing during the closure. Alcorn noted, “We plan to be open during the 2021 season.”

The JCHS apologizes for any inconvenience the closure causes. If there are questions or needs in conjunction with the museum, the public is asked to call JCHS president Jack Alcorn at 308-224-5417 or vice-president Delvin Hansen at 785-738-7414.
