Jefferson has a unique downtown with many of its original buildings still in use by local businesses.  The Chamber continues to develop and promote an economically and socially vibrant historic downtown business district.  The city continues to grow, including expansion on the south side.  Enjoy the friendly atmosphere as you shop local merchants - many of which are family owned and operated and offer an array of products at affordable prices.  There are several antique and resale shops that are sure to have that long lost treasure you've been looking for.  Some local merchants have researched the history of their buildings and other Jefferson buildings, and would love to share these findings with you.
