Book Overview

by David W. Jackson (Author)

Independence Square in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri, has been in the middle of some of the most pivotal events in local and U.S. history. Throughout this entire 185+year history, Jackson County's Courthouse on Independence Square has stood as a monument to the past and symbol for our future. After its 2013 restoration, what a perfect 'time' to "wind the clock" as we look back on the history of Independence Square and Jackson County's Historic Truman Courthouse. The Jackson County Historical Society, located in the Historic Truman Courthouse, promotes the study, appreciation, and interpretation of county history through its museum and archives, preservation and access to shared collections of historical materials, and educational programs and exhibits. The nonprofit historical organization is supported by memberships and donations. Visit the Historical Society on the Web at jchs.org.
