Jordan Property

Text

This small frame structure was built in the early 19th century and became known as the Jordan property.

It has served Mt. Jackson in various ways. Primarily it has been a commercial institution, providing a home to many town businesses. Initially it was a store, and home to the town’s first post office. Later it became a school, used first by a private institution and later by the public schools as overflow classroom space. In the mid-20th century it became a cobbler’s shop where many residents had their shoes made or repaired.

At the turn of the 21st century it became a weaving and gift store. Today it is a gift shop.
