The Jackson-Madison County Bicentennial Commission, Mayor Scott Conger, and Mayor Jimmy Harris unveiled the 200-year anniversary logo.
The columns represent the bridges over Forked Deer River. The bridge represents the history of the county as a transportation hub.
“Jackson has a rich history and the bicentennial offers us the opportunity to honor our roots while committing ourselves to make a positive impact for future generations,” said Jackson Mayor Scott Conger.
The bridge also represents connection.
Planning is underway for multiple events for the year-long celebration, including a kick-off birthday bash in August.
“The bicentennial is much more than a history lesson,” said Madison County Mayor Jimmy Harris. “Through stories of the past, the Bicentennial Commission will inspire and encourage others to play an integral part of shaping the future.”

JACKSON, Tenn. The Jackson-Madison County Regional Health Department is extending the mask mandate in Madison County to March 31, according to a news release.
Leaders in Madison County say the number of new cases are down, and hope that the extension will keep the county on the right path.

Let’s keep it that way. I support the decision to extend the mask mandate another month and am optimistic it will expire soon.”
