About Historic Jackson
 Historic
Jackson is the center of a county that supported a plantation
society by the mid-18th century. The Northampton County
Courthouse, built in 1858, is one of the finest Greek Revival
temple form structures to be found in the South. A walking tour
includes the Northampton County Museum and stately old homes
that whisper of the rich and romantic days of the Antebellum
South.
The Northampton County Museum is dedicated to
preserving and protecting the history, material culture, and
heritage of Northampton County from prehistoric times to the
present.
Museum Hours of Operation: Wednesday-Friday,
11 AM - 5 PM; Saturday, 9 AM - 2 PM.
