In the summer of 2006, Jewell held its annual Jewell Jubilee festival and also celebrated a special anniversary of the town's founding.

And on June 7th, the South Hamilton Record News published a special extended edition
of the weekly paper to help celebrate the Jewell Jubilee/Quasquicentennial.

Here are images of most of the pages of that special issue.   There is also a text version of the writing on most of these pages.

Of course these images in the pages do not show the clear photos originally used for this issue of the newpaper.

     The Quasquicentennial Photo History of Jewell, Iowa was assembled to aid in the learning about Jewell's history.
