Our History Founded in 1973 Jefferson County Historical Societys JCHS first major effort was to successfully persuade Jefferson County Open Space JCOS to purchase the structures now known as Hiwan Homestead Museum. JCHS was recently renamed as the Evergreen Mountain Area Historical Society. JCOS and EMAHS currently maintain a cooperative relationship that preserves the historical structures while serving to display and interpret EMAHSs local Colorado collection. Hiwan Homestead Museum was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and now features a significant Native American arts collection.
