toric Register, and two of them house the City Hall and the Post Office. This town’s many claims to fame include
its Victorian architecture; quaint Bed and Breakfast accommodations; unusual eateries like MacLevin’s (a place that describes itself as an unconventional Jewish deli); the Britt Fes- tival, an outdoor music and art venue featuring world class artists of all music genres; a citywide three-day garage sale held in September; a trol- ley tour that circles the town; and many home- made offerings including quilts, fudge, dressings and preserves. One of the most unique dwellings in this
town is the Jacksonville Cemetery established in 1859. Sitting atop a hill overlooking the downtown business and residential areas and the Rogue Valley, its tombstones re- veal causes of death that were once com- mon but are now nearly unknown. Deaths recorded from epidemics such measles, diphtheria, smallpox, lead poi- soning and Indian Wars seem unreal, like something you might only see on mark- ers in a fictional movie in theatres today.
Ashland Lying along the I-5 slightly north of
the California border near Bear Creek, an arm of the Rogue Valley, Ashland is home to Southern Oregon University (SOU) and the Oregon Shakespeare Fes- tival.
Most famous for this festival (a
repertory theatre production established in 1935), visitors come from all over the U.S. to view its offerings of 11 plays on three stages performed February through early November. Filled with interesting shops, un-
usual restaurants, street musicians and more than its share of hippies, the crown jewel of this artsy city of 25,000 is Lithia Park. Consisting of 93 acres, this park is located in the hub of the town, surrounded by breathtaking foliage and exquisite homes. In the 1800s Ashland was just a saw and
flour mill on the banks of Ashland Creek. The mill occupied what is now the entrance to Lithia Park. The plaza there was a popular meeting spot where settlers would hitch their
Victorian cottages house businesses in Oregon. While many may choose to take a trek
across the USA to view the fall foliage, it seems that a trip to Southern Oregon, particularly Jacksonville and Ashland, has much of the same to offer. And anyone willing to take this shorter route might just discover much more than they bargained for.

horses and make trades. In the early 1900s water rich in lithium bubbled up from the town’s fountain, and the Women’s Civic Im- provement Club decided to establish a park there. Known for its charm and beauty, day-hik-
ing is a must in this park. Trails run along both sides of Ashland Creek connected by wooden bridges. Picnic tables, restrooms, benches and playground equipment are located all along the pathway. The main path is less than a mile long, but if one is looking for a more challeng- ing hike they can head uphill where the main walkway ends and follows the steep hillside trails to the swimming reservoir at the very top of Mount Asland.
