From honoring the heritage of the Native American communities who first called this land home to preserving the legacy of iconic local landmarks, the Jackson County Michigan Historical Society is dedicated to keeping our history alive and accessible. Our history tells the story of who we are, where we’ve been, and the legacy we leave for future generations—but preserving it requires resources, and we can’t do it without your support.

Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we reached our Giving Tuesday fundraising goal. Can we do it again this year? This Giving Tuesday, we’re aiming to raise $2,000 to continue our vital mission. Your donation helps us maintain historical records, fund educational initiatives, produce meaningful programs, and ensure that Jackson County’s history is never forgotten.

History is not just about the past—it’s the foundation of our future. Together, we can keep it alive for generations to come. Donate today and be a part of our story!
