Jackson Historical Society

Capital Campaign

The Town Hall has been a centerpiece in Jackson Village for 145 years. Now, climate related storm events are threatening the building. Flooding from the Wildcat River during recent storms, has caused severe bank erosion, undermined the foundation, and destroyed the furnace. On the roadside stormwater runoff and plowed snow piles have degraded the foundation and damaged the sill and clapboards.

Since 2009, the Jackson Historical Society (JHS) has leased the building from the town of Jackson, transforming and stewarding it into the well-known Museum of White Mountain Art and keeper of Jackson’s long, rich heritage. This proud sentinel is a contributing structure of the Jackson Falls National Register Historic District. Given its significance, the JHS wants to rescue, restore and renovate this historic building.

The Society, dedicated to curating Jackson’s history, wants this important building to continue serving residents and visitors of one of the most beautiful towns in the White Mountains, long into the future.
