Willamette Heritage Center

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:35:17

This interesting 5-acre complex houses grassy gardens, two gift shops, a clutch of pioneer buildings and two museums.

The Mission Mill Museum , the Jason Lee House (1841), the John Boon House (1847), the Methodist Parsonage (1841) and an old Presbyterian church (1858) all look pretty much as they did in the 1840s and 1850s. The Thomas Kay Woolen Mill was built in 1889 and was powered by a mill race (waterway), a section of which still runs through the grounds. Free access to museum grounds.
