We’re excited to share that thanks to the generous support of the L.H. Field Family Foundation, every high school, middle school, and college library, along with all 13 branches of the Jackson District Library, will receive copies of several of our historical publications!🎉📚

These books tell the incredible stories of Jackson County’s rich history, from its automotive legacy to Civil War connections, early settlements, and more! The titles being distributed include:

The Surprising Automotive Heritage of Jackson, Michigan
A History of Music in Jackson County, Michigan
Camp Waterloo – Jackson County’s POW Camp
Camp Blair: A Civil War Camp 1864-1866
The Poor Farm: Jackson's Forgotten Institution
Civil War Era Jackson Walking Tour
History of Coal Mining in Jackson County
The History of John George Hall
The Early History, Settlement, and Growth of Jackson, Michigan

We’re thrilled to make these books more accessible to students and the community, helping to keep local history alive for future generations!

A huge THANK YOU to the L.H. Field Family Foundation for making this possible!

At this point I know some of you might think we have gone quiet. While the activity has gone down, the need is still out there for our program. We will not stop till this gets off the ground. Until then, we will be raising funds to cover all legal fee costs and IRS paperwork. Before we go any farther, these steps need to be done. Hope to update everyone soon on the progress.

Hello everyone, and welcome to our community outreach charity page. This program is in the beginning stages, and the outline for how we will make a big impact on the youth of Jackson is being written right this very moment. With help from the nonprofit network in Jackson and local government, things are set in motion to have this program up and running by the end of the year. We will be seeking out to the people we know, you! and asking for any insight, ways you could help, or ideas you might have. The full outline of the Proud to Empower Youth charity will be set in another post, but for now you can find our mission statement in the about section. Please read that and start to think
"How can I make a difference?"
