Jones County Historical Society kicks off historic marker project
Chinquapin Township, NC - Members of the Jones County Historical Society used their annual meeting, held Tuesday at the fellowship hall of the Shady Grove Church, to announce the start of a program to place markers on historic structures around Jones County.
The first plaque under this program was presented by the Society's President Charley Jones to the Mayor of Trenton, Darlene Spivey to be placed on the town's Disciples of Christ Church. The town of Trenton, which purchased the church in 2019, is in the midst of a renovation of the structure.
The historical marker project will be an ongoing program in which plaques will be provided at no charge, over multiple years, for all homes/churches/structures over 100 years old within Jones County. The first wave of plaques will be selected this fall. Historical marker applications can be requested by emailing: jonesco.historicalsociety@gmail.com
