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.”
