News and notes of the JCHA

JCHA Updates:

The April meeting of the Jackson County Historical Association will take place on Sunday, April 26th at 2pm, at the Scottsboro Depot Museum located at 230 North Houston Street.

Due to unforeseen circumstances with the weather and a visiting skunk, we had to postpone the January Meeting.

We will finally live up to our promise of having Patrick Stewart present on his masterful use of metal detecting and how he uses Civil War era letters to find places most likely to hold treasures. Patrick is one of our JCHA Directors and a member of the Scottsboro City Council. Many of his relics have been found around the historic Freight Depot where our meeting will take place.

All JCHA members are encouraged to attend as we elect a new Secretary.

The meeting is open to the public. We will have light refreshments and an opportunity to look through the museum's exhibits after Patrick's presentation.

The JCHA is a nonprofit focused on preserving and sharing the history of Jackson County. The JCHA restored, and now maintains, the 1861 Scottsboro Freight Depot. The museum is open the first Saturday of each month. Members receive a quarterly newsletter in its 51st year of publication, The Jackson County Chronicles.
