Places: Jacksonville, Oregon

Jacksonville, OR

Few out of the way places are as quaint as Jacksonville, Oregon. Just a few miles out of Medford, Jacksonville was the place to shoot westerns in the 1980s. The town figured out that its western storefronts were a perfect place to shoot and took out the telephone wires so all that had to be done was to throw dirt down on the pavement. They don't make as many movies there these days but you can still wander Jacksonville's streets, visiting some great restaurants and getting your fill of antiques.

For a sit-down meal, check out the Bella Union. If you want a tasty sandwich and some amazing gelato, visit Mamma Mia Gelateria. Where else are you going to find a Proscuitto, Fig & Brie sandwich?

For a true Jacksonville lodging experience, check with the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce for a great bed and breakfast.
