Jacksonville Haunted History Walking Tours

Costumed tour guides lead visitors through historic Jacksonville while sharing pioneer history and stories of spirits that still linger in local buildings. Guests can experience two distinct walking routes: the Britt Hill Tour, which covers murder, arson, saloons, and Oregon's first Chinatown, and the Courthouse Tour, which features tales of brothels, epidemics, and hangings. Both tours take guests past numerous haunted houses and focus on real historical hauntings rather than theatrical special effects.
