Q: How old is history? A: By the time you finish
reading this sentence, you will have your answer. [period; end of sentence] Congratulations.
You’ve just made history.
Technically, each of us makes history in every moment. Some moments, you will agree, are more
memorable than others. Momentous
moments. Minute moments. Moments alone. Moments spent with others. Emotional moments. Moments we’d like to forgive and
forget. History is about somehow
documenting our own moments, and learning more about others who have done the
same. The Jackson County Historical Society believes that it is important
for people to learn about the history of their community … about the lives
and legacies of those who have gone before us. To that end, the Society strives to be an educational
resource for individuals—youths and adults—as well as for area organizations,
and corporations. Here are a variety of ways that you may contribute to and participate
in educational opportunities with the Jackson County Historical Society: Special Community-Based
