About the Museum

When you visit, you are standing on land of this country’s Native people, who have lived in this region for more than 12,000 years. One of the descendant tribes is the Massachusett (Massachuseuk).

The Jackson Homestead and Museum displays rotating and permanent exhibits about the history of Newton, Massachusetts, and the Underground Railroad. The Homestead is also home to the Archives of Historic Newton.
