Colonel Jackson did not feel that is was in the best interest of his employees to have them live in the Mansion. Therefore he had this home built for the parlor maids to live in. The home is located on the street along side the Jackson Mansion, It was far enough away to provide some privacy for the maids, but close enough if they were needed. This home was owned and maintained for many years by Gerald Kershner. Mr. Kershner was the great grandson of Jacob Knecht who was the Coachman for the Jackson family. Upon his death he left this home to The Berwick Historical Society. This home will be open for tours in the near future.
