Don’t miss out! Saturday, May 18, will be your last opportunity this year to escape 2024 and “time travel” to 1932 Jacksonville, Oregon, via “Beekman House Living History.” You’ll find yourself in Depression Era Jacksonville where miners are digging up the streets looking for any leftover gold; hobos are hoping for handouts, and Prohibition is ignored. Time travelers will be paying a social call on Ben and Carrie Beekman, the children of the town’s wealthiest and most prominent pioneer family. With the help of family members and friends, Ben and Carrie are closing up their 1870s family home, going through closets and cupboards, commenting on current events, and reminiscing about growing up in the late 1800s. While touring this national historic landmark located at 470 E. California Street in Jacksonville, you’ll become part of a 1-hour living history “play.”
The Beekmans will be “receiving guests” at 10:30am, 12n, and 2pm. Admission is $10. Tour groups are limited to 10 people and reservations are required.
