Dear Mrs. Miliken:
On behalf of the Center for Historic Preservation, thank you for the wonderful welcome you
gave to our graduate students and me during our visit last week to Mt. Olivet Cemetery. The
community support for this project was overwhelming and shows just how important this
historic landmark is to the citizens of Jackson. We appreciate you arranging for such a
special welcome and especially for allowing us to meet and interview Mrs. Jimmie Sue
Johnson.
Nancy Morgan, our graduate student who did the majority of the interview with Mrs.
Johnson, is reviewing the slides and photographs we took and is doing library and internet
research. She will be the primary author ofthe Mt. Olivet Cemetery National Register
nomination with assistance from Dr. West and me. After she has begun work on the narrative
descriptions we will plan another day to come by. At that time we can take any additional
photographs/slides and do additional research in Jackson. I expect this visit will take place in
late July.
I am enclosing some of the heritage education materials we talked about while at the
cemetery. These are included in a website created by a fellow staff person, Caneta Hankins,
at the Center for Historic Preservation. This website is called The Heritage Education
Network (THEN). It is designed to show teachers how to use local cultural and historic
resources in their lesson plans for grades K -12. I have enclosed several copies of the flyer
and book mark and one set of the pages to be found at the website. You may wish to pass the
flyers on to area teachers to encourage them to use Mt. Olivet as a tool for teaching history,
social studies, and many other subjects.
We will be contacting you in July to make arrangements for a second visit. Thank you again
for all your assistance.
