Rypjisscil by the railroad, the town finally got a passenger traui.
JACKSONVILLE, Ore, uied to be a sold mine in the literal tente.
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.
