Bemis Historical Society will hold a monthly meeting on Tuesday, April 18, at 6:00 p.m. at the Bemis Mill Village Museum located at 2 North Missouri Street in Jackson.

Leanne Braddock and Kemp Reed will share stories of the early prominent families of East Main Street in Jackson. Fifteen of the original twenty-two homes survived after a tornado in 2003. The neighborhood group, Preservation of East Main and Surroundings (POEMS), is the caretaker of this historic district.

Prospective members and guests are welcome to attend. The 100-year-old museum building is handicap accessible. Browse the museum to enjoy the artifacts and to visit the museum’s Company Store or visit online at bemishistory.org. Annual Society membership dues are $25 and can be paid at the meeting or mailed to PO Box 9266, Jackson, TN 38314-9266.
