Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce
Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce.
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. Some of the area’s finest history museums are found in Jacksonville.
Wonderful restaurants & boutiques line the Old West streets and the style of lodging is intimate and friendly. Plenty of B&B’s 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.
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, the warm, night air comes alive with the sights and sounds of jazz, pop, folk, country, classical music and dance! The beautiful, hillside estate of pioneer-photographer Peter Britt, forms a perfect, natural amphitheater that shows off top, headline entertainment. Part of the fun of an evening under the stars at Britt is the picnic that leads up to showtime. Baskets reveal all sorts of culinary delights as patrons eagerly anticipate an evening of legendary performances! General & reserved seating is available.
