| From the Guidebook: |
On September 18, 1857, Congregation
B'nai Israel of Jackson dedicated on this site the first
synagogue in the Mother Lode. High holy day worship continued
until 1869 when the larger Masonic Hall was used to accommodate
the congregation. The wooden structure then served as
a schoolhouse until 1888. Relocated onto a nearby lot,
it became a private dwelling, and was razed in 1948.
