There is a very active local historical society that works to preserve Jamesburg's heritage. The Jamesburg Civic Association is spearheading the downtown revitalization effort. The group last year joined with neighboring Monroe to sponsor a July 4 celebration in Thompson Park, an event both towns hope to promote annually. Parents are actively involved in the school district that serves kindergartners through eighth-graders in two buildings. An addition to John F. Kennedy School was opened in the fall of 1998.
Older students attend high school in Monroe.
