Beekman Bank Museum tours
2025-09-13 11:00 - 15:00, 2025-09-14 11:00 - 15:00 | Beekman Bank Museum, 110 W. California St., Jacksonville, OR, United States
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.
Established as a “gold dust” office in 1856, it was the first “bank” north of San Francisco.
Scheduled 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!
Visitors 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!
The 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.
During 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.

About the Bands
Summer Colds
Born from chaos, clarity, and a love of loud guitars, Summer Colds fuses heavy indie rock and power pop with dark, poetic lyricism. Think fuzzy ‘90s alt-rock energy, anthemic hooks, and a sound that’s as raw as it is irresistible. Their debut album, Here Comes Nothing (2019), set the tone, and now they’re gearing up for the release of Missing Out—their highly anticipated second album—coming Halloween 2025. Until then, fans can dive into the three singles already released from the record. Expect soaring guitar riffs, gritty vocals, and the kind of energy that lingers long after the last note.
Another Anthem
Founded in 2006 by lead singer/guitarist Matt Holben and bassist/vocalist Logan Herzog, Another Anthem blends pop-punk edge with genre-bending ambition. Rounded out by drummer Andrew Peel and guitarist Brandon Kester, the band’s latest release, The Chronicles of Death and Dusk, may be their boldest material to date, cementing their reputation as one of Southern Oregon’s most exciting live acts.

The Hamazon’s present “Improvised Shakespeare,” a performance where comedy improv takes a theatrical romp in the style of The Bard.
Inspired by the works of Shakespeare, The Hamazons will deliver a full-length improvised play with Elizabethan flair. Filled with the language of poetic imagery and bawdy innuendo, the Hamazons will “take arms against a sea of trouble” and hope that “all’s well that ends well.” Lovers, fools, fairies, and “monarchs to behold the swelling stage” will find a new story filled with love, death, revenge, mystery and magic, as The Hamazons discover it for the first and only time with the help of audience suggestions.
“Improvised Shakespeare” will be in the style of long-form improvisation, which means The Hamazons will create one long story, in two acts, completely unscripted. The stories they act out have never been seen before and will never be seen again making each performance a unique experience. The Hamazons, also known as “The Warrior Princesses of Improv”, feature Cil Stengel, Eve Smyth and Kyndra Laughery.
The Hamazons will present an unscripted Shakespearean story on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 12th and 13th at 7:30pm and Sunday, Sept. 14th at 3:00pm at The Bellview Grange, 1050 Tollman Creek Rd in Ashland.
Tickets are $17 online at www.hamazons.com or $20 at the door – advance tickets are recommended.

Ashland author Bruce McConnell explores Crows Calling: An Inspiring Journey into our Better Natures
2025-09-15 19:00 - 20:00 | Bloomsbury Books, 290 E. Main St., Ashland, OR, 97520, United States
Special pre-release event for crow-admirers (and anyone who loves the Earth)!
Ashland author Bruce McConnell explores “Crows Calling: An Inspiring Journey into our Better Natures,” his uplifting novel about our relationships with the natural world and each other in the face of climate change.
“A parable of wisdom and kindness told through the eyes of the living world.” —Paul Hawken
Earth’s animals are fed up with humanity’s mindless damage to our common home. Will a young girl and her family heed their call?
Ten-year-old Luz sets out on an overnight camping trip, accompanied by her spiritual mentor. Peering through a canopy of California redwoods, Luz witnesses a council of animals confronting the menace of climate change. Led by a lustrous—and talkative—crow named Koro, the animals weigh their options. Some, like Koro, want to collaborate with humans. Others doubt humanity’s good intentions. The conversation compels young Luz, innately in tune with the natural world, to fight passionately in its defense.
At once a work of fact-based activism and a moving coming-of-age, “Crows Calling” immerses the reader in a richly drawn family and community who, despite their differences, decide to dedicate their lives to the care of Grandmother Earth. They are not alone. Rather, they are accompanied by a colorful cast of savvy planimals—trees, coyotes, chickens, and even lichens—with long memories and ancient ways of healing.
Some damage cannot be undone. Natural disasters, public apathy, and greed threaten everything that Luz and her friends are working for. Can the cross-species alliance find unity and resolve the climate crisis?
Bruce McConnell is an agile shapeshifter, having flourished as a poet, roofer, artist-blacksmith, engineer, tenor, consultant, national security official, non-profit executive, and peacemaker. He sings in the Rogue Valley Peace Choir.
