About this place

A history museum on a five-acre property in Salem with fourteen historic buildings spanning from the 1840s onward. Families can walk through exhibits about the Kalapuya people, early missionaries, and Oregon Trail settlers, then explore the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill, a restored textile factory with two floors showing how cloth was made and what factory life was like. The site includes several preserved houses and a church, along with a textile learning center where children can engage with historical crafts and techniques.

If you are a member here

A membership to Willamette Heritage Center carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
