| Installation of an eight passenger elevator has made all three floors of the museum wheelcair accessible. Wheelchair access entry to the building is through the iron gate off of Madison Street, passing the Upschulte house and into the rear entrance of the building at ground level. Due to the age of the building, CCHS is not able to be fully ADA compliant; however we have been able to provide suitable access to most of the building through selected entry ways. |

Our 2007 Christmas ornament, Supreme Court Building, is now available at the museum office and at select Jefferson City businesses. The ornament is twenty-second in a series that began in 1986. There are also a limited number of ornaments available from previous years if you wish to add to your collection or give someone a very special gift. Watch for the new ornament to come out at the end of this year. |
