Admission to the JCHV is free. The JCHV is also home to the Schweinfurth Museum, as well as several permanent and rotating exhibits, which highlight a variety of historical items from Jefferson County and the United States as a whole. Several programs on historical topics are held throughout the year, including educational, musical, and artistic events. A popular event for children held each year lets them experience A Day in the Life of a Prairie Child.
