Jackson County Historical Society

Teacher’s Connections

(Updated 11 December 2009)

Here are some very helpful (and some fun) Web links for educators and local historians. There are links to schools and education-related sites. For general research, there are sites specifically dedicated to various aspects of Jackson County’s rich, diverse history. If you know of any we’ve missed, let us know so we may add them. (suggest a link!)

History and heritage organizations strive to work with educators to integrate more local history into their curriculum.

For history-related MUSEUMS, ARCHIVES, ETC., see our Jacomo Bookmark.
