The Beekman Bank Museum is located at 110 W. California Street (the corner of California and North 3rd streets) in Jacksonville. Guests can interact with costumed docents sharing stories of late 19th Century banking practices\, gold shipping\, and handshake deals; step behind the counter and peer in drawers containing old checks\, stage schedules\, and paperwork; and enter the vault that stored millions in gold! \nVisitors can spend as much or as little time as they like—although we suggest they allow at least 30 minutes. Tours are FREE\, but donations are encouraged since all monies go towards the preservation and maintenance of this historic legacy! \nThe original bank was established in 1856 as a “gold dust” office. (If we’re factual\, it was a safe.) Cornelius Beekman had come to Jacksonville in 1854 as an express rider between Yreka and Jacksonville carrying newspaper\, mail\, parcels\, and gold over the Siskiyous. When his employer’s firm failed\, he established Jacksonville’s Beekman’s Express and his gold dust office. In 1863 he became Jacksonville’s Wells Fargo agent and constructed the Beekman Bank. \nDuring Jacksonville’s heyday as the governmental\, commercial\, and social hub of Southern Oregon in the late 1800s\, the Beekman’s Bank saw over $40 million in gold cross its counters—equivalent to over $1 billion today! The current 1863 structure is the only commercial wooden building on California Streeet to survive Jacksonville’s many fires. It has been preserved intact as a museum since Cornelius Beekman\, the wealthiest and most prominent of Jacksonville’s pioneers\, locked the doors in 1915. \nAdditional information is available at 541-245-3650; info@historicjacksonville.org; and www.historicjacksonville.org/behind-the-counter/.

Bendre the Giant & Just Clark) DESCRIPTION:Want to be in local indie rock band Blood Jacuzzi’s music video? Sunday\, 8/24/25 at Local 31 Pub in Ashland Blood Jacuzzi is playing a show and getting some crowd footage. \nPortland neo-soul/power pop group\, Bendre the Giant and folk great\, Just Clark are sharing the bill. Get ready to dance! \n$10 at the door \n21+ \nBlood Jacuzzi \nMasters of the art of wearing their heart on their sleeve\, Blood Jacuzzi has a sound that’s as raw\, energetic\, and emotional as the Pacific Northwest itself.\nKnown for their theatrical skits that comedically crescendo into the dramatized murder of various band members (starring generous portions of fake blood)\, Blood Jacuzzi gives live performances that are simultaneously unpredictable and wholesome; expect lots of big grins\, and the sense that the audience is somehow involved in their hijinks. At their best\, Blood Jacuzzi gets by on a fervor and earnest commitment that’s so infectious it may just make you feel more alive. Billy King’s lyrics\, laced with wit and emotion\, explore themes of personal struggle and celebrating differences. \nBendreTheGiant \nFrom Portland\, Oregon\, BendreTheGiant is the Neo-Soul Power Pop group led by Ben Estrada. Estrada has been releasing music since 2020\, but his 2024 releases mark the first time he has brought in outside collaborators: BendreTheGiant is now a six-piece band that includes keyboardist Delos Erickson\, guitarist Avery Scanlon\, bassist Eli Hansen\, drummer Nate Hansen\, and saxophonist Ben Harris. \nIn 2024 BendreTheGiant released an EP\, “Get Well Soon\,” and pair of singles\, “Nobody Knows” and “Make It Stop.” Their forthcoming EP\, “Wading In The Deep End\,” will be released on Friday\, March 7\, and coincides with a tour of Oregon\, California\, and Washington. BendreTheGiant has been featured on OPB\, the Dan Cable Podcast\, and Eugene Weekly\, and was a 2024 winner of MusicOregon’s Echo Fund artist grant. New single “Do you Feel It” now streaming.
