They have been hosting seasonal events lately - a scarecrow festival, a wreath making day this weekend - but they seem to have a scaled down volunteer staff to coincide with the limited hours. It's too bad! This place could be a great spot for the community.

That area is beautifully…read moredesigned for handicapped accessibility plus there is a great view of the valley below, including the City of Medford. Facing West, I hear that the sunset view in the evening is often beautiful and along the drive on the way up are strategically placed park benches that we noticed for sitting and watching. When we looked in the other direction, we could see the peak of Roxy Ann, a local landmark. We did not use the trail system this day as we were just on a casual sight seeing of the area. There are great opportunities for group photos up here as well as the landscape. The attached website from the city park system has all the trails and visit details. I do know that our local hosts hike it regularly with their active dog and kids. It might be a bit much for me at this point but not for most visitors. The area is rather steep but mostly grassland with an occasional tree. Heed warnings for lack of shade and heat in the summer. But visit it any way that you can.

I really enjoyed visiting Jacksonville, Oregon. My wife and I went on a camping trip near by and on…read morethe way back home, we wanted to check out Medford, Oregon. Once in Medford, everyone was telling us to go to Jacksonville, Oregon to look at the historic building and all the fun things to do there. We redirected there, it was only about a 15 min drive to Jacksonville. The downtown area was very cute, we saw a farmers market type event setup at City Hall. We parked and walked over to check out all the things the different booths were selling. We saw lots of unique things there like woodcarvings, pictures & paintings and even some food and drinks. After a short time we continued driving through all the neighborhoods, enjoying the different types of old homes.

It includes  Jacksonville Historic District which was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1966." The gold was played out so Jacksonvlle went into a big sleep which may not have been so good for the residents at that time, but in hindsight, Jacksonville went into suspended animation thus preserving the 19th century buidings intact. Strolling along California Street is like goIng back to the 1890's. You almost expect a barber shop quartet to be singing some old fashioned tunes, or player pianos playing in a saloon. In fact one saloon, J-Ville Tavern occupying the former Anderson & Glen General Merchandise Bldg, touts itself as a "Husband Daycare Center" for wives who want a break from their spouses. The barber shop still sports an old time barber pole w/ a dome light on top. The window displays spitoons & other objects from that bygone era. Jacksonville Lumber Company on a side street does reverse chic and displays a Pink Flamingo & artificial flowers as if to slyly make a reference to John Waters' infamous cult film by the same name. We found the Cheese Monger's Wife to be a great place to get Euro style sandwiches, local Rogue Creamery Blue Cheeses, Siskyou Wild Honey, Pistola Côte du Rhône style white wine. Their cheese board was an impressive exercise in aesthetic composition. The lady owner goes out of her way to inform her customers who are curious about the gourmet products that she stocks & sells. Nice two or three hours to soak up some Southern Oregon charm with a fin de dix-neuvième siècle ambience.
