Annual Children's Festival

Admission is $4 per person

ONCE UPON A TIME, 60 years ago, on Britt hill, a group of moms got together to create an outdoor festival where children could celebrate their imaginations through stories, and creativity. What began as a small, community event has grown into Southern Oregon’s most cherished family tradition. This summer, the Children’s Festival marks its 60th anniversary with the theme “Fred Celebrates History,” recognizing the festival’s legacy, and the stories and traditions that connect generations. Like many celebrations this year, the theme is a reminder that the best way to honor the past is to inspire those who will shape the future. Many locals remember attending the festival as kids. Now, they return with their own families, sharing the experiences they enjoyed years ago. Each summer, the Britt hillside fills with over 30 booths where children are encouraged to create, build, and pretend. In a world that often feels rushed, the festival continues to offer something simple and meaningful: a space where creativity, imagination, and community still take center stage. The event is made possible by more than 400 volunteers and welcomes over 6,000 attendees over three days. The Children’s Festival also acts as the primary fundraiser for the Storytelling Guild, which supports literacy and storytelling programs in Southern Oregon. As we celebrate this milestone, we remember that history is about people, communities, and the values we pass along. We hope the Children’s Festival continues inspiring future generations, because history is not only about remembering where we have been, but also about creating opportunities for the children who will write the next chapters.

Walk through Jacksonville History!
JACKSONVILLE, OR—Jacksonville’s “Walk through History” tours are back! At 10 a.m. every Saturday from May 30th through September 5th, Historic Jacksonville, Inc. will be offering one-hour guided walks through Jacksonville’s National Historic Landmark District, the first on the West Coast! Participants will take a stroll through history, visiting government and commercial buildings, fraternal lodges, and homes that capture the stories of the people who transformed a gold rush town into Southern Oregon’s 19th Century social, governmental, and commercial hub. They’ll learn 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 the town and preserved it.
Walking tours leave from Jacksonville’s New City Hall (the historic “Courthouse Square”) at 206 North 5th Street between West C and D streets and cover about one mile with multiple stops. Tours are FREE but donations are encouraged! All monies go towards the preservation and maintenance of Jacksonville’s historic buildings.
For individuals who prefer not to “stretch their legs,” Historic Jacksonville’s website (https://www.historicjacksonville.org) offers numerous ways to explore Jacksonville virtually. These include multiple blogs about the town and its settlers along with three video tours that introduce viewers to Jacksonville’s Historic Landmark District, its Historic Homes, and its Pioneer Cemetery.
Historic Jacksonville, Inc. invites you to forget the “names, dates, places, and battles” version of history you may have been taught in school. HJI’s live and virtual tours are about “real history”—people and their stories. They are about life!
Additional information on “Walk through History” and other Historic Jacksonville, Inc. tours is available at 541-245-3650; info@historicjacksonville.org; and www.historicjacksonville.org.

JACKSONVILLE, OR—Americanswere on the move during the second half of the 19th Century!

Like many ambitious men, Cornelius Beekman was lured west bythe promise of gold, sailing in steerage from New York to Panama in 1850,crossing the Isthmus by canoe and mule train, and then finding passage on a SanFrancisco bound ship. He came toJacksonville in 1853 as an express rider carrying gold, papers, and mail overthe Siskiyous to Yreka three times a week on horseback. From that humble beginning, he became one ofJacksonville’s wealthiest pioneers, amassing a business empire that includedbanking, insurance, mining, and real estate interests. He wasalso a public servant and philanthropist and was named one of the 100 mostinfluential Oregonians of the 19th century.
As was typical of upper class Victorians of wealth andprominence, Beekman family members traveled the West and East Coasts, visited Canadaand Alaska, criss-crossed the country, and toured Europe. Beekman’s1870s home, located at 470 E. California Street in Jacksonville, remains completely furnished with family artifacts,many of them souvenirs from the family’s frequent travels.
One-hour house tours will be offered every 20 minutes withcostumed docents sharing information about the Beekmans’ many trips, the modesof transportation available to them, and how advances in transportationimpacted family life and life in Jacksonville.
