Jackie Whitesell

Jackie has a B.A. in Crop and Soil Science. She quit her career in order to traditionally homeschool her three children and has no regrets! Jackie and her husband, Michael, seek to educate and raise their children in the admonition of the Lord. They live outside Pendleton on a small homestead where they attempt to be as self-sufficient as possible. Jackie has a passion for teaching true history to people all around the world. She's able to accomplish this as a tour guide through Pendleton Underground Tours. She believes, "If we teach history accurately (even if it is uncomfortable), we can learn from it—from the things we did right and the things we did wrong." Jackie often remarks, "History doesn't have to be boring!" Then she sets out to prove it.
