Treasures at the Jefferson County Court House

Parrott-Wood Memorial Library, 3133 W. Old A.J. Hwy, Strawberry Plains, TN, invites the community to a wonderful history program on June 12th at 5:00 pm. Guest speakers are Mr. Wayne Roberts, Director of Jefferson County Archives and volunteer Ms. Patricia Wright.

Ms. Patricia Wright and Mr. Wayne Roberts have been volunteers at the Archives for several years. Ms. Wright has vast experience in the medical field along with several years of military service. Mr. Wayne Roberts’ experience has been in pension plan accounting, employee benefit plan director for a large manufacturer and an employee benefit plan trust officer vice president for a major bank.

Since Jefferson County Court House is one of only a handful in the state that has not had a major disaster (fire, flood, etc) records are intact back to the late 1790’s. Mr. Roberts and Ms. Wright will be covering different areas in the Court House that they feel contain treasures that a lot of people are not aware of and will also discuss the procedures we use to process these historical items.
