Colonel Jackson's Birthday Party

341 N Market Street, Berwick, Pa 18603

Come help us celebrate one of Berwick's own, Colonel Clarence Gearhart Jackson. Colonel Jackson was a Civil War Captain, father, businessman, community leader, and the designer of the Jackson Mansion.

This event is the kickoff to the Jackson Mansion Tour Season for 2025. We will celebrate Colonel Jackson's 183rd birthday with tours of his home that he designed while in prison during the Civil War. In addition to learning about the history and details of the restored mansion, you will also for the first time ever, learn about all the battles that Berwick's own son fought during the Civil War.

Special Civil War Encampment on the front lawn of the Jackson Manion will be held for this event. The 149th Pennsylvania Bucktails Volunteer Infantry will be encamped. There will be drills, fife and drum, fires, tents, cooking, and interacting with the encampment is encouraged, so come early before your tour time.

Tours will be held on Saturday, March 22, 2025, and Sunday, March 23, 2025. Tours will be held at the start of every hour with the first tour starting at 11:00 am, 12:00 pm, 1:00 pm, 2:00 pm, 3:00 pm, and the last tour will start at 4:00 pm each day.

Regular Tour Rates apply: $15 for adults, $13 for seniors, $10 for Berwick Area Residents, $7.50 for students, children, and Berwick Historical Society Members. Free for Life Members.

After your tour of the mansion, you will be invited to visit The David A. Sadock House, the headquarters of the Berwick Historical Society, located right across the street from the Jackson Mansion for a free tour, birthday cake and punch.

Tickets can be purchased at the Ross & Boone Gift Shoppe on the day of the tours or by calling the Gift Shoppe at 570-520-4110. Since this event is also the reopening of the Ross & Boone Gift Shoppe for the season, you will need to leave a message about tour tickets, and someone will call you back on Tuesday or Wednesday.
