JACKSON, Tenn. A lot can happen in 200 years. That’s why Jackson is preparing to kick off its Bicentennial Celebration.
“We’re really excited. This is a special year for Jackson-Madison County. In August, we will kick off a full year celebration, celebrating 200 years of living and progress in Jackson-Madison County,” said Elaine Christian, Chairman of the Jackson Bicentennial Commission.
They will celebrate a different theme each month.
Next summer there will even be an unveiling of a time capsule from the 150th celebration in 1972, and the planting of a new time capsule.
“This is once every 200 years, so I won’t be around for the next one, but maybe some of the other people will be around when it turns 50,” Christian said.
