The Jackson Community House Historic Foundation

The Jackson Community House Historic Foundation As the representatives of the Montgomery City Federation of Women’s Clubs, Inc., The Jackson Commu S. Attorney for Alabama’s northern and middle district.

Standing on a tree-shaded hill and set back from South Union Street, within sight of the State Capital is the Jackson-Community House, a two-story antebellum structure. The house was built in 1853, while Jefferson Franklin Jackson served as U. This is the beginning of a history so rich that it dare bring the past into the future. With the purchase of the Jackson House in 1943 by the Montgomery Fed

eration of Colored Women’s Clubs with a purpose of “owning your own home” eliminated the fear of “no permanent meeting place” for the organization. The bringing together of the past, dictates the purposes of not neglect of the historic edifice but the nurturing, development and cultivation of it. This house will be authentically restored and furnished to reflect the lives and times of 1853 - present of those who made it possible. The Jackson - Community House Project Committee grew out of the need to restore the historic structure we called the Community House. This committee is composed of a representative from each club within the federation.
