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 and

shakers" 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.

Sharing their stories with local residents and visitors to our area provides a better understanding of why people came to Oregon and how Jacksonville and the Rogue Valley were developed. Much is owed to these Pioneers and their families and the Friends of Jacksonville's Historic Cemetery strive to preserve the markers of the deceased, the grounds that they sit on, and to keep their stories alive for future generations to enjoy.
