2001 JOURNAL of the Jackson County Historical Society features A Snapshot
of Historic Preservation, 2001, by Brad Finch. The article discusses how historic preservation in Jackson

and why it is important to save … and celebrate … history. This article is just right for
individuals who have little or no prior knowledge about historic
preservation, and want a crash course to get them started. Brad
