Eagle Point Museum
The original portion of the Eagle Point Museum was the old Long Mountain School. The school was built in 1925. When it was no longer used as a school, it was moved to school district property in Eagle Point and in 1977 moved across the Main St. Bridge to its present location where it became the museum. Since then it has seen two additions and now houses the second largest collection in Jackson County. Most of the collection is from Eagle Point area families. It is located on Royal Ave., near the covered bridge.
Covered Bridge – Lost Creek
The Lost Creek Bridge, at 39 feet, is the shortest of all Oregon covered bridges. Many Jackson County residents, including Shirley Stone, daughter of pioneer John Walch, claim the Lost Creek Bridge to have been built as early as 1878-1881. If authenticated, this would make it Oregon’s oldest standing covered bridge. Johnny Miller, the builder of the Lost Creek Bridge, also roofed the nearby span at Lake Creek in the 1880s, thus lending credence to a sign nailed on the bridge: LOST CREEK BRIDGE, BUILT ABOUT 1881. The span may have been partially or totally rebuilt in 1919, hence the official construction date in that year.
Covered Bridge – Antelope Creek
The Antelope Covered Bridge was built in 1922. Another similar bridge was torn down by the county. Area residents wanted this one preserved and following many fundraisers and endless hours of volunteering, and it was moved 12 miles down two state highways to downtown Eagle Point in 1987. It straddles Little Butte Creek and provides a safe passage over the creek for school children. It is at the corner of Main and Royal. Its entrance is marked with large stones and on each stone is a plaque honoring those who served in various wars.
