The Poor Farm: Jackson's Forgotten Institution

By Jackson County Michigan Historical Society

Following the insightful dedication ceremony for historic signage at the Poor Farm Cemetery, the Jackson County Michigan Historical Society has produced a 50-page booklet entitled "The Poor Farm: Jackson's Forgotten Institution." In six brief chapters, co-authors and board members Linda Hass and Ken Wyatt take readers on a journey from the Jackson County records of the 1830s to continuing work by Blackman Township to improve County Farm Road and access to the cemetery for pedestrians and motorists.
