Jacksonville, Oregon is known for its wineries, covered bridges, and historic downtown.
It was founded in 1852 during the California Gold Rush.

Comments

Yes it sure is.

---

I grew up there before the wineries when it was surrounded by pear orchards. Greatest place to grow up with forests all around. Now they have a wonderful trail system that runs around the entire town.

---

Yes, they expanded those trails over the years. Put up better signage so you can find your way around.

They used to have a wonderful old museum, with a tremendous rock collection.  It was always a thrill to take family and friends there. Always enjoyed it, went there a couple time with other children from my schools.

Answer 2

Yes a beautiful and quaint town, with a lot of history.

Answer 3

Thank you for showcasing Jacksonville, Oregon!

I spent quite a few hours today going through the Jacksonville Cemetary and starting with the earliest deaths, adding them into the project. This is just a start, but what I would like to do is get as many as possible connected to the larger tree so we know where there pioneers came from.
