I suggest using Pacific Comfort Bus Lines. They're extremely friendly, and the ride is an experience! Best money I've ever spent on a ride around town. They're also available for charter services, and medical rides!

Oregon Shakespeare Festival runs through most of the year, showcasing not only Shakespeare's plays, but also other classic and contemporary plays as well. The festival is the oldest and largest theatre in rotating repertory in the nation. After the play you can eat in one of Ashland's many ethnic restaurants or window shop along the plaza, finding the perfect gift to remind you of your visit.

The House of Mystery at the Oregon Vortex is one of the strangest but most intriguing areas in Gold Hill. This house was opened to the public in the 1930s, in an area where you can feel and see the strange phenomena of an invisible whirlpool of energy. Marbles roll uphill and people of the same height appear to be taller or shorter than each other depending on where they stand. Physicist H. John Lister performed more than 14,000 experiments during his lifetime in an attempt to explain the phenomena. You can take a guided tour March through October.
