Jackson County Pride
Once upon a time, Jackson County was renowned for this. We were told
in school that a man named Chapman (John was it?) played a big role
in promoting this here and other places across the frontier. We
don't have much of it anymore but we've held onto the symbol as
anyone who looks over our county seat can easily see. You'll be the
apple of our eye if you find our box, use our stamp, and leave your
stamp in our book for us to enjoy.
To find Jackson County Pride, go to Manpower Park in the city of
Jackson. Manpower Park is located on east Main St. across from the
Jackson Square Shopping Center. Once in the park, find the brown
historical marker for the Kanawha Trail. At the marker, take a
compass bearing of 60 and walk 30 paces (2 steps = 1 pace) to the
Ridgeway tree. At the tree, take a compass bearing of 30 and walk
13 paces to Old Glory. At Old Glory, take a compass bearing of 340
and walk 8 paces. Look under the tall pine at the west end of the
Chamber of Commerce sign and you should find Jackson County Pride
hiding in the mulch. Bring a stamp pad and a pencil! Please be
discrete as there is a lot of traffic nearby. After you find it,
please send us an email at bigguy_45640@yahoo.com and let us know if
it's needs any attention. Thanks and happy hunting!
