Jackson

St. Patrick’s Catholic Church

St. Patrick’s Catholic Church was built in 1868 to replace the town’s second Catholic church which was destroyed in the fire of 1862. Daniel Harter designed and built the striking, thirty by fifty foot frame structure whose walls rise twenty-two feet to the eaves. The church was dedicated on May 18 of 1868, and has served Jackson’s congregation ever since. The rectory next door was built in two parts, the first half being constructed in 1887, the rest sometime after 1919. The structures stand at 121 & 115 Court Street.
