Jackson, Michigan: Republicans and Space
Jackson, Michigan is located in South Central Michigan midway between Battle Creek and Ann Arbor on the I-94 corridor.
It holds many surprises. Jackson is the home of the first formal meeting of the Republican Party, which nominated Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency in 1860. Found out later, in Lansing, that the only remaining wreath from Lincoln’s funeral cortege is hanging in the Historical Museum in Lansing. The Republican Party in Jackson had given the wreath.
Just outside of Jackson is the Michigan Space and Science Center. When you think of space museums, you generally think of Houston, TX, or the Smithsonian in Washington DC. There are other space museums throughout the country: Henderson, KS, Alamagordo, NM, and even Chicago, IL in the Museum of Science and Industry. Within a large Geodesic dome is an Apollo spacecraft, a moon rock, displays of life in the space exploration vehicles, and the space shuttles. There are many activities for both children and adults, such as Full-Motion Flight Simulators, 3-D Space Shuttle Ride, 4-D Missions Theater, Montgolfier Balloon Race, Flying Circus Bi-plane Ride, Space Walk, Zero Gravity Experience, Magic Planet, Space Ball, and the Mission to Mars. Several of the Astronauts have roots in the Jackson area.
Jackson also was one of the many stations for the Underground Railroad during the mid nineteenth century. Many churches and stately mansions still exist from that era. One of them, the Ella Sharp Home has been turned into an historical museum, showing farmstead life in the nineteenth century.
