Mission Mill Museum interprets the history of Jason Lee's Methodist Mission to Oregon which settled the Willamette Valley in 1834 before the major Oregon Trail migrations. The missionaries brought formal education, industry and large scale agriculture and advocated for U.S. government in the Oregon country. Mission Mill also interprets the history of the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill which produced wool products from 1889 to 1962 and represents one of Oregon's earliest and strongest industries. This historic 5-acre site interprets the vibrant red structures of the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill and the simple white frame houses of devout Methodist missionaries, the founders of Salem. The history presented at Mission Mill helped shape the state of Oregon from 1834 to 1962. The mill and missionary stories are woven together by the use of water - water that sustained life and powered industry. Visit us and take time to become acquainted with early heroes - missionary and industrialist. Their lives, struggles and successes are the stories of Mission Mill Museum. Together they weave a legacy that continues to enrich our lives.
