Birthplace of the world’s most famous ornithologist, Roger Tory Peterson, Jamestown is home to the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History, dedicated to informing visitors about the natural world. An art gallery (and its collection of Roger Tory Peterson prints), library, gift shop, butterfly garden and the Institute’s headquarters are situated on 11 hectares (27 acres) of woods and meadows. Fenton Historical Society is also located nearby. Set in a Civil War-period mansion, the museum includes Victorian memorabilia, Swedish and Italian rooms and early Jamestown genealogy. The Lucille Ball – Desi Arnaz Museum, a tribute to the town’s most famous daughter, has two annual festivals in late-May and early-August.
