Bemis Historical Society will hold a regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 21, at 6:00 p.m. at the Bemis Mill Village Museum located at 2 North Missouri Street in Jackson.
Evelyn Keele will present the program titled “The Making of Historic Madison, the Story of Jackson and Madison County, Tennessee by Emma Inman Williams.” Evelyn is the Assistant Tennessee Room Librarian at the Jackson-Madison County Library. This book is very interesting and appropriate while we are celebrating the bicentennials for Madison County and the City of Jackson.
Anyone interested in the history of Bemis and the surrounding area is invited to attend the meeting. The museum is handicap accessible. Browse the museum to enjoy the artifacts and to visit the museum’s Company Store or visit online at bemishistory.org to see our historical ornaments, Bemis and Chat ‘N Chew baseball caps, vintage photos, keepsake hand-held fan, etc. Annual Society membership dues are $25 and can be paid at the meeting or mailed to PO Box 9266, Jackson, TN 38314-9266.
