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!

You may have heard that some pests and diseases are moving north. Wonder why? One of the least discussed impacts of global warming and related trends is how they affect living systems that are important to us. In this presentation Southern Oregon Climate Action Now cofacilitator Dr. Alan Journet will discuss how we are affecting the viability of many of our temperature dependent friends and foes in the natural world. Many of these are critters that derive body heat from the surrounding environment. Journet will explain why and how these creatures are temperature dependent. He will also discuss how regional temperature trends influence range shift, and how warming affects migratory bird nesting success. The discussion will also explore what climate change means for many critical diseases and pests, notably bark beetles and our forests, and how monarchs and other butterflies are affected. Journet will close with a brief discussion of the impact of carbon dioxide increase on our natural and agricultural world. This program is co-sponsored by the Pollinator Project Rogue Valley.This meeting is not sponsored nor endorsed by Jackson County Library Services

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.
