A behind the scenes tour for four led by the Mission Mill Museum Curator, where you can explore areas and artifacts not currently interpreted for the public. Also, a one year complimentary museum membership.
     Mission Mill Museum interprets the history of the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill - designated an American Treasure by the National Park Service - which produced wool products from 1889 to 1962 and represents on of Oregon's earliest and strongest industries. It also preserves Mission houses, an Oregon Trail settler's house, a historic church and the structures, equipment and original water-powered turbine of the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill with related artifacts. Mission Mill also interprets the history of Jason Lee's Methodist Mission to Oregon which settled in the Willamette Valley in 1834 before the major Oregon Trail migrations. These missionaries brought formal education, industry and large scale agriculture and advocated for U.S. government in the Oregon country.
