Winter Wonderland

The Southern Oregon Historical Society is celebrating the holidays in style at SOHS Hanley Farm, and you’re invited to join us!

The farm, located just two miles north of Jacksonville at 1053 Hanley Road, becomes a magical place for three nights on December 12, 13, and 14 when over 15,000 lights illuminate this historic landmark. Between 5pm and 9pm each night you can immerse yourself in lights while strolling through a Winter Wonderland! Experience it with family, friends, on a date, or as a group outing. Generously sponsored by the SOHS Board of Trustees, this event is FREE! It’s SOHS’s holiday gift to the community!

Established in 1857, this 37-acre Century Farm is owned and operated by the Southern Oregon Historical Society. Originally settled as a land grant, it remained in the Hanley family until 1982 when Mary Hanley, a founder of the Society, donated it to SOHS. It is both a working farm and a museum, the largest artifact in SOHS’s 1,000,000+ collection. In addition to being the site of public SOHS events throughout the year, its picturesque setting, 19th Century farmhouse, barns, water tower, and other historic outbuildings are the perfect backdrop for special events and are available for private function rentals.
