HGTV names town in Oregon among the most charming small towns in the US

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – From cities with quaint shops to "fascinating histories," HGTV released a list of the top 50 charming small towns in the United States, with one southern Oregon hidden gem making the cut.

“There's something special about small towns," HGTV said about the list. "Whether it's the simplicity, the character or the people, they are a quintessential part of American life."

Located in Southern Oregon’s wine country, the historic Jacksonville, Ore. scored a spot on the list, as first reported by The Oregonian/OregonLive.

The small town received a shout-out for agritourism like the Applegate Valley Wine Trail and a “premier” arts fest.

“Come in the summer to enjoy the Britt Music & Arts Festival, the Pacific Northwest's premier outdoor summer performing arts event, or explore the town's independently owned shops, restaurants and hiking and biking trails year-round,” HGTV said, noting the city has also been named among America’s 10 “coolest small towns.”

Cities topping the list include Fairhope, Ala., Unalaska, Alaska, Winslow, Ariz., Eureka Springs, Ark., and Carmel, Calif.
