Jackson Train Station Up For National Historic Recognition
As someone born and raised in Jackson, the train station has always held some major significance. I even, like many of us who grew up in the area, got my senior pictures taken there in high school. However, as iconic as the train station is to Jackson residents, it actually has more historical significance than many of us first realized.
There is already so much history behind the 150-year-old Amtrak station and according to MLive it "has long been credited for its role in developing the city’s economy."
Now, though, MLive reports this Black History Month historians in Jackson want to add the iconic train station to the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom, run by the National Park Service.
