Imagine your life without a smart phone—or for that matter any phone at all. What about no computer or internet connection? TV or radio? Time travel with Historic Jacksonville, Inc. back to 1900 for a “retro” tour of “Daily Life Then and Now: 1900 vs. 2026.” Guided 45-minute tours compare the differences in communication, fashion, etiquette, entertainment, chores, household “amenities,” and much more – things we take for granted like electricity, running water, and…bathrooms!
Tours begin every 20-30 minutes between 12n and 3pm at the 1870s C.C. Beekman House, located at 470 E. California Street in Jacksonville, Oregon. Tour admission is $8 (cash or check at the door). You’ll find more information at https://historicjacksonville.org/then-and-now/.
All proceeds go towards maintenance of Jacksonville’s historic buildings and the programs and events that bring them to life and make them relevant for people today.
