History’s Home



The Department of Records Management and Archives preserves the oldest public records of Tennessee in the state’s oldest town, Jonesborough. Located at 103 West Main Street in a yellow-brick, former bank built in 1915, the archive houses records to aid in researching family, local, and regional history.
The Archives will be closed from 11 to 3 on Friday, June 5th. Please join us at the Historic Courthouse to celebrate Statehood Day!
