Americans were on the move during the second half of the 19th Century! In the span of 50 years, transportation options advanced from horseback, wagon or buggy, stagecoach, and sailing ship, to railroad, steamship and automobile. And, as the wealthiest and most prominent of Jacksonville’s pioneer families, the Beekmans experienced them all!
View antique cars and learn about the rapid changes in transportation during the late 1800s when the Rogue Valley A’s join Historic Jacksonville, Inc. at Jacksonville’s historic Beekman House for “Travel in the Victorian Age.”
One-hour docent-led house tours highlighting the Beekman’s travel adventures and the impacts on Jacksonville that advances in transportation brought about begin every 20 minutes between 12n and 3pm on Saturday, July 18. The 1870s Cornelius C. Beekman House is located at 470 E. California Street in Jacksonville. Tours are $10;lawn activities are free. Tour size is capped, and reservations are encouraged. Reservations and info at https://historicjacksonville.org/victorian-theme-tours/.

Get a taste of the "old West" and Jacksonville's gold mining days when you step behind the counter of the oldest financial institution in the Pacific Northwest. The 1863 Beekman Bank Museum, located at 110 W. California Street in Jacksonville, saw over $40 million in gold cross its counters during the town’s heyday in the late 1800s—the equivalent of over $1.5 billion today. Interact with costumed docents sharing stories of late 19th Century banking practices, gold shipping, and handshake deals; step behind the counter and peer in drawers containing old checks, stage schedules, and paperwork; enter the vault that stored all those millions in gold!
Admission is FREE but donations are encouraged with all monies going towards the preservation and maintenance of this historic legacy!

Blending modern psychology, somatic awareness, and metaphysical principles, Lorie shares how boundaries influence your nervous system, your subconscious patterns, and even the energetic field around you. What if boundaries weren’t about pushing people away, but about coming home to yourself? Explore boundaries as a deeply spiritual practice- one that shapes your energy, your relationships, and the reality you experience.

We have a wide assortment of food available. Bags with staple items are pre-filled, but we will gladly add any special requests if they are available. When you visit, there is always a simple lunch. On the last Wednesday of every month, we serve a pretty darned good hot meal with salad and a huge table filled with pies and desserts. We call it a community lunch. All are welcomed.

Stretch your legs in the comfort of morning temperatures while hearing the stories of the people who transformed a gold rush town into the 19th century center of regional government, commerce, and society when you join Historic Jacksonville, Inc. on one of our weekly Saturday 1-hour guided “Walk through History” tours. Tours leave from Jacksonville’s New City Hall at 10am and cover about 1 mile with multiple stops. Guests 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 and preserved the town.
Tours are FREE, but donations are always welcomed—all monies go towards maintaining and preserving historic buildings seen on the tour.
