Test Your Knowledge of Jefferson's Roots and Win a Prize

Every Monday, we'll ask you a question about the community Jefferson Patch is proud to call home. Maybe it'll be a simple multiple choice question. Maybe it'll be a little trickier. Maybe we'll post a historical photo of the township, and ask you to guess where it is. But whatever the challenge, it'll test your knowledge of our township.

Just post the correct answer in the comments below (you'll need a Patch account to leave a comment, if you don't have one already). The first three people with the correct answer win a Patch tote bag and water bottle. We'll also congratulate the winners on their hometown knowledge here on the site.

The cutoff time is Friday at noon. If you've got the correct answer by then (and three other people haven't beaten you to the punch), we'll e-mail you to find out where to send your swag.

Note: This contest is open to those 18-plus, so if you're a Jefferson young'un who wants to show off your township trivia talents, ask Mom, Dad or another responsible adult to enter on your behalf.

Good luck to all! Here is this week's question:

In the 1800s, what industry was in operation in Jefferson Township?

chocolate making
