The Historic Gems of Jeffersonville

Three museums in SoIN have teamed up to create “Historic Gems of Jeffersonville,” a passport program that encourages you to learn more about the culture and history of Clark County, Indiana. Explore unique exhibits and educational opportunities at Clark County Museum, Howard Steamboat Museum, and the Vintage Fire Museum and Safety Education Center. Once stickers from all three locations are collected, you’ll receive a special gift to memorialize your achievement.

Pick up a passport at any of the three museums or when you stop in at the Southern Indiana Visitor Center (305 Southern Indiana Ave., Jeffersonville).

Lace up your skates for Jeff on Ice! Jeffersonville’s ice skating rink is back at a new location inside The Depot in the NoCo Arts and Cultural District. Book your session online in advance now until January 29.

Cozy up for Hygge Tea at the Culbertson Mansion State Historic Site on January 21. Learn how to build connection and coziness into your everyday life and take home a signature scented candle.

Get creative at Wimsatt Soap & Soy Candle Bar. Grab your partner or a friend for candle-making fun at the shop or at their monthly events at Baer's City Winery and Our Lady of Perpetual Hops.

Now you see it, now you don't! Catch the "Never Not Amazing Magic Show" at J&B Magic Shop in downtown New Albany during one of three family matinees on January 7, 14 & 21.

The Rise of Life, an event at the Falls of the Ohio State Park on January 8th! Go in depth with Dan Phelps, president of the Kentucky Paleontological Society as he dives into Earth's history.
