“The final resting place for early miners”
Friends of Jacksonville's Historic Cemetery are dedicated to the restoration and preservation of this beautiful, peaceful, and tranquil final resting place in Jacksonville, Oregon. Our work includes the education of residents and visitors alike as to the importance of this significant historic site and how it relates to the history of Jacksonville, the Rogue Valley, and Southern Oregon. The Jacksonville Cemetery is the final resting place for many of the early "movers andshakers" of Jacksonville, formerly known as Table Rock City. Merchants, gold miners, farmers, judges, and doctors are just some of those who now rest below the Madrones. Grave markers reflect the great distances they traveled seeking their fortunes and a better life for them and their families. They read: born in England, Ireland, Germany, France, and from all over the United States.
Step back in time to the 1850s and experience the trials and tribulations of Jacksonville's founding families by touring the Historic Jacksonville Cemetery. Established in 1859, it is the final resting place for some 4,000 area citizens.
The Friends of the Jacksonville Cemetery provides tours during the summer and produces "Meet the Pioneers" each October. This event highlights the personal histories of the town and the residents buried there.
