Chamber Chat – June 2025
As spring transitions into summer across our beautiful Rogue Valley, Jacksonville’s 2025 Trolley Season rolls into full swing. Our cherished trolleys connect visitors and locals with the unique ambiance that only Jacksonville can provide during these perfect June days.
This season is the perfect opportunity to thank Brian Dunn for his service to our Chamber of Commerce as President (2022-2025) and his visionary Jacksonville Wine Trolley and Holiday Trolley Lights Tours programs. Our community expresses appreciation for his leadership and dedicated service as we ring the trolley bells and raise our glasses to the Chamber President who made Jacksonville a Two Trolley Town.
We carry on his legacy by adding exciting enhancements to the Wine Trolley season. Wine lovers will appreciate the convenient new downtown stop at Remotion and hour-long visits to our five stunning local wineries. For those wanting a more leisurely experience, our two-day pass option encourages guests to fully savor our region’s award-winning wines at a more leisurely pace and allows for plenty of time to shop, dine and enjoy our full event calendar and beautiful surroundings.
Our Narrated History Trolley continues its beloved journey through time, sharing Jacksonville’s rich gold-mining heritage, and intriguing tales of our pioneers and architectural treasures that earned our entire town its National Historic Landmark status. Beyond these signature tours, our trolleys serve our community by transporting Britt patrons from parking lots to performances throughout the season, creating picture-perfect backdrops for weddings and making special events memorable through private rentals.
Fellow locals, seeing our town through fresh eyes offers new perspectives as summer unfolds. A history tour reveals fascinating details about buildings you pass daily, while the Wine Trolley offers a responsible, car-free and care-free way to experience our renowned vineyards. Visitors treasure these experiences because they receive more than transportation. They gain authentic insights from our passionate trolley drivers and share unique journeys with Jacksonville residents which transform a simple tour into meaningful moments and memories.
Climb aboard and rediscover Jacksonville’s summer magic on both trolleys. Whether celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking new appreciation for our remarkable town, our trolleys offer a truly memorable experience that blends enjoyment, education, and community connection.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard and encourage you to enjoy the trolleys this summer season and beyond!
