What a wonderful weekend of America 250 programming at The Jackson Theatre. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

JONESBOROUGH — The Jackson Theatre continued its America 250 programming over the weekend with two biographical one-man shows about sixteenth U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.

“He’s one of the least problematic figures that I’ve found in my studies,” said actor Jacob Truax, who embodied "Honest Abe" through storytelling and humor. “He was very forthright, and he tried very hard to include everyone.”
