Jackson General Store

This commercial structure was built at the original townsite of White Deer, 0.5 miles east, and was moved here in 1908 when the present townsite was established. It housed the general merchandise business of J. C. Jackson, who died in 1966 and was a prominent leader in the development of White Deer. In his career as a public servant, Jackson was mayor, postmaster, county judge from 1935 to 1941, and precinct commissioner from 1947 to 1966. He and his wife Dolly, who died in 1957, were also founders of the First Presbyterian Church, and the Jacksons maintained their home in the general store building for many years.
