Walk through Jacksonville History
2025-10-04 10:00 - 11:00 | Downtown Jacksonville
Jacksonville’s “Walk through History” tours are back!
At 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.
Walking 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.
For 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.
Historic 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!
Additional information on “Walk through History” and other Historic Jacksonville, Inc. tours is available at 541-245-3650; info@historicjacksonville.org; and www.historicjacksonville.org.

Beekman Bank Museum tours
2025-10-04 11:00 - 15:00, 2025-10-05 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.

Beyondananda and Beyond — An Evening of Cosmic Comedy with Swami Beyondananda
2025-10-04 19:00 - 21:00 | Havurah Synagogue, 185 N. Mountain, Ashland, 97520
At a time when we are divided by the beliefs in our head, here’s a chance to unite around the love in our hearts!
And the best way to do that is through hearty laughter.
So you are invited to join us for an evening of cosmic comedy featuring Swami Beyondananda and his slightly-more-serious alter ego Steve Bhaerman.
Set One: Stand Up With Swami … In these serious times – where there’s definitely something funny going on – laughter keeps us sane. This heart-opening, mind-expanding, funny and insightful comedy set will help you wake up laughing — and provide plenty of “aha’s” in the wake of the ha-ha’s. Oh, and as part of the program the Swami will answer your questions … and you will question his answers.
For nearly 40 years, the Swami has been a fount of comedy disguised as wisdom – or is it wisdom disguised as comedy? Noted author Marianne Williamson has called him “the Mark Twain of our times” because the comedy isn’t just hilariously funny, but also offers sharp social commentary and spiritual perspective.
Set Two: Sit Down With Steve Bhaerman … Swami’s alter ego Steve Bhaerman, in addition to being a funny guy in his own right, has also authored a “serious” book with cellular biologist Bruce Lipton. Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future and a Way to Get There From Here, has been translated into 26 languages, and has been called “world-changing” by both Deepak Chopra and political commentator Thom Hartmann.
In this “sit down” with Steve Bhaerman, Steve explores how we use levity to “defy gravity” in these seriously unfunny times, and how humor itself can be a tool for evolutionary transformation. You’ll laugh while you learn, and learn while you laugh.

Louisa Morgan talks about her new novel The Faerie Morgana
2025-10-06 19:00 - 20:00 | Bloomsbury Books, 290 E. Main St., Ashland, OR, 97520, United States
In this atmospheric and bewitching novel, Louisa Morgan reimagines the story of Morgan Le Fay, one of the most enigmatic and powerful women in Arthurian legend.
To the other priestesses of the Nine, a powerful council at the Lady’s Temple, Morgana is haughty and arrogant as she performs feats of magic no human should be capable of. Rumors start that she must be a fearsome fae.
To King Arthur, Morgana is a trusted and devoted advisor, but his court is wary of her and her prodigious talent at divination. But his wife sees Morgana as a rival and a malevolent witch.
Morgana doesn’t know why she’s so different from everyone else, and she doesn’t much care. But when she aids Arthur to ascend the throne before his time, she sets off a series of events that will change everything Morgana believes about her power.
Louisa Morgan now lives and writes and rambles with her Border Terrier in beautiful, friendly southwest Oregon. A musician and a yogini, she finds time to teach writing workshops here and there and she loves visiting bookstores and book clubs.
She has also written other popular novels: The Age of Witches, A Secret History of Witches, and The Great Witch of Brittany among others.

Thursday Evening Calm Abiding Meditaion
2025-10-09 18:00 - 19:30 | Kagyu Sukha Choling, 109 Clear Creek Drive, Ashland, 97520
This meditation is common to many traditions of Buddhism. In this practice, we rest our attention on a simple meditative support, such as the breath. Instead of following thoughts and emotions as we usually do, we release them and maintain our connection to the support.
“From this practice, we can experience a stable and calm mind. We learn to maintain and return to a sense of stillness, no matter what our outer circumstances. The mind is relaxed, alert and aware. The results of this practice are serenity, freedom in the face of circumstances, and ultimately Buddhahood.”
From Meditation for Beginners, by Bokar Rinpoche.
To attend Calm Abiding Meditation via Zoom, email the office at OFFICE@KSCASHLAND.ORG to join the mailing list.
