Get involved!

 Jackson Township Historical Society (JTHS) , 7756 Fulton Dr, is looking for volunteers of all ages to do various jobs around the schoolhouse and at home. They are in the process of planning programs and open houses for 2025 and would like ideas of what the community finds interesting.  Contact us via the contact page for suggestions and volunteering. 

JTHS has a collection of information about families in Jackson. Some are founding families, others made Jackson Township their home. Depending on the family, pieces of the collections include, family photos, genealogy, legal documents, receipts, school records, and more.  Contact them to research their family records or to donate some of your own.
