About Fenton History Center

Fenton History Center features elegant period rooms within an Italian villa mansion built in 1863, including the acclaimed Fenton Drawing Room showcasing Victorian furnishings and artifacts. Visitors tour exhibits on Jamestown furniture manufacturing, the Underground Railroad in Chautauqua County, Lucille Ball, children's toys, and military history across multiple dedicated spaces. The adjacent Hall House Research Center provides access to archives and library materials for genealogy research and detailed historical study. Both locations stand in Jamestown, New York, with free parking at each site and a brief redbrick walkway connecting them. Children under seventeen receive free admission, while SNAP Benefits Card holders qualify for discounted entry valid for up to four persons per card. Adults pay admission, with rates and hours published at fentonhistorycenter.org.
