Today it ii a gold mine of Americana, having preserved to an ex traordinary degree the character and architecture of. a Weitem town of 1850-75. A panoramic photograph taken in 1B87 shows that the town hat changed little since that day. Jacksonville lies off the beaten path in southwestern Oregon near the California border. An urban renewal plan it now being proposed for the restoration of Jacksonville's former municipal glory. Some of the townspeople would like a living museum along the lines of Green field Village, Mich., or Old Sturbrldge Village, Mass., with, of course, the appropriate frontier atmosphere. Other residents oppose such a move, contending that the influx would be like a plague of locusts. In 1852. gold brought the first settlers to this area. The community grew rapidly, but within twenty-five years economic dystrophy had set in. as has been the case wi'lh nearly all gold rush towns. Today the papulation is 1.300. or 300 more persons than in 1894.
