Descendant donates Jameson family photos as City advances Jameson Homestead community garden
Summary
Jon Wysochanski read a multi‑generation family history of the Jameson Homestead, offered to donate historical photographs and documentation for display at the homestead or City facilities, and Council thanked him for preserving local agricultural heritage.
Jon Wysochanski addressed Council to present a detailed family history of the Jameson Homestead (36675 Detroit Road) and to offer historical photographs and documentation for the City to preserve and display as part of the newly created community garden on the purchased property.
Wysochanski read from family records and described a Jameson lineage in Avon dating to 1824, including references to veterans of early American wars and the family's agricultural operations. He offered the photographs and written materials for public display at the Jameson Homestead or other City facilities to honor the farming legacy. Mayor Bryan Jensen and Council thanked him for the contribution and for helping the City document local history.
The offer provides the City with additional materials to support interpretation and displays at the homestead and supports the community-garden use the City is establishing.
