Sundays Make History

The Daily Courier Newspaper has partnered with the Josephine County Historical Society and the Southern Oregon Historical Society (Jackson County) to publish a weekly article about the history of Southern Oregon. Our own Joan Momsen, as well as others from the area, has submitted many articles to the Courier. Check out some of these articles below!

These articles will be circulated monthly, so come back for new reading!
