Preamble of our Constitution:
There is a personal and patriotic obligation resting upon the citizenship of every community to assemble and preserve its traditions, customs and history.
The programs, efforts, and resources of the Society exist for the benefit of every person in our community who desires to inform themselves of their heritage.

Our Meetings
The Jackson County Historical Society meets the third Sunday of each month (except December) at 2:00 P. M.. at our meeting room in the Harrison Building in Ripley (lower floor-access on side across from the Ripley City Police). Occasionally a meeting will be held elsewhere--at the museum, or when a larger venue is needed.
