Jewell Historical Society
Jewell Junction Railroad Depot

Serving you from the junction of Yesterday and Tomorrow!

The Iowa Hamilton County town of Jewell, which was also known as Jewell Junction for being located
at the junction of two railroads, is located at the northern junction of US Highway 69 and Iowa Highway 175.

 The Jewell museum building at the corner of Johnson & Deckor Streets will be open for guests each Sunday afternoon from June through August.
To have the museum open this winter for a special visit or an event, please call Dick Steffen, our curator at 1-515-310-0413.
Guests are also welcomed to join us at our monthly board meetings in the museum at 3pm the third Monday of each month except December.
 
We would like you to come and browse our collection, 
and to join us as a member, and also view our Featured Image . . . . or try some Fun Stuff.
