Historic Jacksonville

Stroll the gold-rush streets of Jacksonville. In summer, picnic at a Britt concert on the hill.

Walk the brick-and-wood main street of an 1850s gold-rush town. Pop into the shops and galleries, read the old building plaques, and each pick the building you'd live in. Take a photo of yourself in front of your pick and share the best fact you learned about it. In summer, pack a picnic blanket for a Britt Festival concert on the hillside lawn; tickets sell out, so book ahead.
