City Historian Linda Hass to Give Presentation Wednesday

Hass' presentation will focus on a dramatic standoff between two Kentucky regiments and one Michigan regiment – both of which served the Union, and it will be enlivened by pertinent photographs, documents, and an original, never-seen-before sketch depicting the dramatic confrontation. This free lecture series is a great way to foster a deeper understanding of Jackson County's history. The talk is best suited for adults and children 12 years and up. Hass, Vice President of the Jackson County Michigan Historical Society, has successfully applied for four state historical markers and three national designations commemorating Jackson’s history and she also has authored three books. The Jackson native was named “City Historian,” by the Jackson City Council in 2022. The Jackson County Michigan Historical Society was founded in 2020 as a not-for-profit, private educational organization dedicated to perpetuating Jackson County’s history.
