The colorful little town of Jacksonville, only 5 miles west of Medford, was founded during the great glory days of the Gold Rush. It’s a living example of our history here in the West.
The 1850’s architecture qualified the whole town to be on the National Register of Historic Places of which there are only 8 in the entire country. Walking tours are extremely popular here.
Wonderful restaurants & boutiques line the Old West streets and the style of lodging is intimate and friendly. Plenty of B&Bs dot the town and surrounding countryside.
The crowning glory of Jacksonville is the Britt Music Festival, a summer attraction with world-renown headline entertainment under the stars!
Over 300 acres of nature trails wind their way through the undeveloped hillsides that form Jacksonville’s scenic, historic backdrop. Hike along the creek where gold was first discovered or through mine tailings on a self guided tour of Jacksonville's historic mining past.
Beyond Jacksonville in the picturesque countryside of the Applegate Valley. Here you can explore award-winning wineries, visit llama and alpaca farms, or discover a region that’s virtually limitless in its outdoor recreation possibilities.
For three months every summer, Jacksonville’s warm, night air comes alive with the sights and sounds of the Britt Festival! Jazz, blues, pop, folk, country, classical, blue grass, world, dance & musical theatre emanate from the natural amphitheatre located on the hillside estate of pioneer-photographer Peter Britt. Top headline entertainers love playing at Britt….they appreciate the attentive audiences and the acoustics on this hillside are amazing! Part of the fun of an evening under the stars at Britt is the picnic that leads up to show time! Baskets reveal all sorts of treats as patrons eagerly anticipate an evening of legendary performances. Lawn seating and reserved seating are available in this casual, relaxed atmosphere. Situated right in the heart of town, Britt Festivals is Southern Oregon’s premier performing arts festival!
