The historic town of Jacksonville, situated amid the rolling foothills of Oregon's Siskiyou Mountains, was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. Strolling down its streets, you may feel like you've just stepped out of a time machine. The town is so well preserved with saloons and historic buildings that you just might expect cowboys to come flying out of swinging saloon doors and a gunfight to erupt in the street. But don't worry — the stately brick buildings today are home to numerous shops and restaurants, and the streets are filled with wandering tourists instead of drunken gunfighters.

During the summer months you can explore Jacksonville in style, in a horsedrawn carriage. Or you could enjoy a trolley car ride, a venerable Jacksonville tradition. The conductor, wearing an old time costume, will entertain you with fascinating stories about the points of interest you'll encounter along the way.
