Jacksonville is a charming small town nestled in southern Oregons rolling hills, a few miles west of Medford. The entire town of Jacksonville is a National Historic Landmark with stories of Native Americans, Chinese immigrants and gold miners woven into its rich historical background. The Jacksonville Museum includes tours with photographic story boards and artifacts, and a Childrens Museum offers interactive play in a real general store, old school house and a miniature railroad. During the summer months, a town trolley takes visitors on a tour of over 100 historic buildings dating to the mid 1800s. The quaint brick and wood buildings now house restaurants, spas, unique shops and lodging. Jacksonville was home to the first Chinatown in Oregon, founded by San Francisco immigrants. In March 2004, road workers discovered artifacts of the era and construction was halted while archaeologists worked to uncover Chinese bowls, tea cups, coins and other items. The town of Jacksonville is also known for the Britt Festival, a seasonal event that takes place at an open-air amphitheater that was chosen because of the fantastic acoustic qualities of the surrounding hills. This popular concert series attracts hundreds for its national pop, country, alternative and contemporary music acts. Jacksonville is also situated at the entrance to the Applegate Wine Country and is just a days drive to the scenic Rogue River Recreational Area.
