JACKSONVILLE, Ore. - A 129-year-old historic home in Jacksonville is going up for auction along with over 100 antiquities.
 
On Friday owners of the Keegan House on D Street hosted a walk-through for people interested in bidding.
 
The couple previously living in the home owned an antique business and family members say the house is filled with antiques. There are military helmets dating back to World War I, antique toys, silver and several pieces of furniture.
 
Linda Graham moved into the house with her parents in 1966, at which time she says many improvements were needed.
 
"I grew up here, yes. We moved here from Medford in 1966, when Jacksonville was the west side of the tracks. I thought my parents had lost their minds. Now I realize it was the best thing that ever happened to me," Linda Graham said, who grew up in the Keegan House.
 
The home's antique items will be auctioned off beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Keegan House. The house itself will go up for bidding on July 16th.
