SUMMARY:Walk through Jacksonville History
DESCRIPTION:Jacksonville’s “Walk through History” tours are back! \nAt 10 a.m. every Saturday from May 24th through August 30th\, Historic Jacksonville\, Inc. will be offering one-hour guided walks through Jacksonville’s National Historic Landmark District\, the first on the West Coast! Participants will take a stroll through history\, visiting government and commercial buildings\, fraternal lodges\, and homes that capture the stories of the people who transformed a gold rush town into Southern Oregon’s 19th Century social\, governmental\, and commercial hub. They’ll learn how gambling money built a church; how the Civil War ended a successful mercantile partnership; how a saloon housed the county’s first museum; how fire reshaped the town; and how a railroad both destroyed the town and preserved it. \nWalking tours leave from Jacksonville’s New City Hall (the historic “Courthouse Square”) at 206 North 5th Street between West C and D streets and cover about one mile with multiple stops. Tours are FREE but donations are encouraged! All monies go towards the preservation and maintenance of Jacksonville’s historic buildings. \nFor individuals who prefer not to “stretch their legs\,” Historic Jacksonville’s website (https://www.historicjacksonville.org) offers numerous ways to explore Jacksonville virtually. These include multiple blogs about the town and its settlers along with three video tours that introduce viewers to Jacksonville’s Historic Landmark District\, its Historic Homes\, and its Pioneer Cemetery. \nHistoric Jacksonville\, Inc. invites you to forget the “names\, dates\, places\, and battles” version of history you may have been taught in school. HJI’s live and virtual tours are about “real history”—people and their stories. They are about life! \nAdditional information on “Walk through History” and other Historic Jacksonville\, Inc. tours is available at 541-245-3650; info@historicjacksonville.org; and www.historicjacksonville.org.

SUMMARY:Beekman Bank Museum tours
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to “Step Behind the Counter” of the oldest financial institution in the Pacific Northwest—Jacksonville’s 1863 Beekman Bank Museum—when Historic Jacksonville\, Inc. opens the museum for summer tours. \nEstablished as a “gold dust” office in 1856\, it was the first “bank” north of San Francisco. \nScheduled 2025 “banking hours” are 11am to 3 pm\, Saturdays and Sundays\, from May 24 through August 31. 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/.

SUMMARY:Sunday Service: Celebration and Joy
DESCRIPTION:Gratitude\, appreciation\, and love are really something to celebrate! We will spend time recognizing our appreciation for all that contributes to our wellbeing. As we move toward summer and the end of our program year\, we will practice gratitude together. \n“Recognize that pleasure is a measure of freedom\,” writes Adrienne Maree Brown\, author of a book called Pleasure Activism\, which takes as its premise that the states of being that activists are striving for\, justice and liberation and wellbeing\, are highly joyful states\, and therefore pleasure can be a powerful tool for helping us achieve them. To be able to choose our joy and experience it\, this is the freedom so many are fighting for. \nMonthly Theme: Celebration \nAttend in person or watch live or recorded on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@roguevalleyunitarianuniver8871

SUMMARY:Beekman Bank Museum tours
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to “Step Behind the Counter” of the oldest financial institution in the Pacific Northwest—Jacksonville’s 1863 Beekman Bank Museum—when Historic Jacksonville\, Inc. opens the museum for summer tours. \nEstablished as a “gold dust” office in 1856\, it was the first “bank” north of San Francisco. \nScheduled 2025 “banking hours” are 11am to 3 pm\, Saturdays and Sundays\, from May 24 through August 31. 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/.

SUMMARY:Zebith Thalden discusses her art guidebook “The Insect Artist: How to Observe\, Draw\, and Paint Butterflies\, Bees\, and More”
DESCRIPTION:“Art and science collide beautifully in this must-have book for insect and nature lovers everywhere. Prepare to be amazed at the artworks you create!” —Lila Higgins\, co-author of Wild LA \nEqual parts educational and inspirational\, The Insect Artist is a guidebook intended for artists of all skill levels looking to cultivate their artistic practice. More than a simple how-to book\, the techniques covered help to build a strong art foundation\, advance skills progressively\, and address challenges. Illustrating is one of the best ways to learn about the wonders of the natural world\, and insects are an incredible and important subject to focus on! \nPulling from her extensive career as both an artist and instructor\, Thalden will also touch on the ways that art can change our perception of the natural world\, the courage that it can take to pursue creative engagement\, and how to foster artistic independence in a supportive environment. \nZebith Thalden’s work celebrates biological diversity and the interconnectivity between humans and other species. She received a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from Goddard College. Her artwork has been featured in both solo and group exhibitions in galleries\, cultural centers\, and art museums throughout the United States and abroad. She has attended artist residencies at Zion National Park and PLAYA: Center for the Intersection of Art and Science. Her public speaking events have been hosted by nature-based organizations\, Institutions of higher learning\, and independent bookstores. Follow her at ZebithThalden.com.

SUMMARY:Windows in Time: Shreds and Patches: OSF Uncovered
DESCRIPTION:A few days before his death\, Angus Bowmer finally finished a two chapbook series entitled “Shreds and Patches.” \nThese books were written primarily for his festival actors as a passing on of his thoughts and knowledge about the Ashland Elizabethan Stage. Long out of print and almost lost to history\, these chapbooks have been recently uncovered. For the first time ever\, you will hear Angus’ personal learnings\, teachings and vision for the Ashland Elizabethan Stage through the lens of his actors and company. \nPresenter Jonathan Stevens is an Ashland\, Oregon based actor and director who has been performing and creating for the theatre in one way or another since the age of 10. Born and raised in Baton Rouge\, Louisiana\, he went on to graduate from the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts before receiving his BFA in Theatre from The Boston Conservatory. Shortly after graduating college\, Jonathan was invited to join the acting company for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival\, where he has remained a company member since 2015. He has performed in over 20 productions\, ranging from Shakespeare\, musicals and new works. In addition to his work at OSF\, Jonathan has also worked professionally in New York\, Los Angeles\, Minneapolis\, Seattle\, and Boston. He has also had the pleasure of training with internationally renowned Commedia dell’Arte maestro Antonio Fava in Italy. His love for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival is immense and he can’t wait to share his passion with you. \nThe monthly Windows in Time lunchtime lectures feature well-known writers and historians and bring alive the people\, values\, and events that shaped our southern Oregon heritage. Lectures are jointly sponsored by the Southern Oregon Historical Society (SOHS) and Jackson County Library Services. Programs are presented in Medford (first Wednesdays\, in-person and online) and again in Ashland (second Wednesdays\, in-person). Registration is only required to attend the Zoom version of Medford’s program. Recordings of Medford presentations are available on the JCLS Beyond YouTube channel.
