Calling all Young Historians!

The Jackson County Historical Society is excited to offer a new educational program designed for children. If you have a child from the ages of 5 to 15 years old interested in visiting local historic sites and museums, we have a fun program for them! Create memories and learn about the county you live in. This is a perfect gift for any child in your life too and not limited to just your child. Perfect for grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or your friend’s children too!

All Young Historian members will receive an annual membership.
