JACKSON MANSION UPDATE

Keys to the Jackson Mansion were turned over to our organization from Berwick Borough shortly after New Year's 2010. We are now entrusted with the care of the mansion for Berwick Borough and plan to continue our restoration of the historic building as a "house museum".

Jackson Mansion Tours

As we continue restoration of the Jackson Mansion, we regret that regular tour hours have not yet been established. Following more comprehensive restoration, we will announce what hours the mansion will be available for tours. Until that time, we have set up an e-mail contact to request information about tours by appointment. Please contact us at: mansion.tours@berwickhistoricalsociety.org

Revenue raised from tours of the Jackson Mansion go toward the maintenance of the mansion.
