Oregonians have varying opinions about which parts of the state are their favorites, whether it be for scenic beauty, cultural scene, urban feel, adventure, recreation, family fun, and more. It can be interesting to hear what outsiders find notable in Oregon, as seen in a recent list from HGTV titled “50 of the Most Charming Small Towns in America.” Among the towns featured nationwide, Jacksonville, Oregon, made the list representing the state.
Described as historic and located in southern Oregon’s wine country, Jacksonville serves as a gateway to the Applegate Valley Wine Trail. The town offers attractions such as the Britt Music & Arts Festival and independently owned shops and restaurants. It has also been recognized as one of America’s “coolest small towns.” Visitors are encouraged to explore the Jacksonville Woodlands, a peaceful forest area perfect for getting lost in nature.
While Oregonians may have their own personal favorites when it comes to towns in the state, it is still worth noting when outsiders recognize the charm and beauty of places like Jacksonville. As the travel industry continues to highlight unique destinations across the country, it’s important for Oregonians to support local journalism and the exploration of hidden gems in their own state.
