* "Walk through History""Walk through History"

Time: 10:00 am

Stretch your legs in the comfort of morning temperatures while learning a little Jacksonville, Oregon history! Hear how gambling money built a church; how the Civil War ended a successful mercantile partnership; how a saloon housed the county’s first museum; how fire reshaped the town; and how a railroad both destroyed the town and preserved it. Join Historic Jacksonville, Inc. at 10am at Jacksonville’s New City Hall at 206 North 5th Street for a combination of exercise, education, and entertainment! The tour covers about 1 mile and lasts about 1 hour. The tour is FREE, but donations are always welcomed—all monies go towards maintaining and preserving historic buildings seen on the tour.
