Jacksonville Post Office

The oldest continuing operating post office in Jackson County. The gold rush and farmers and merchants who followed the miners caused the development of many other communities and several post offices in the Applegate area. But Jacksonville, now a historic landmark and cultural mecca, is the area's shopping center and has the only independent post office.
