Our first stop of the day was Willamette Heritage Center. This museum is actually several historic buildings on 5 acres of land. You are able to enter all of the buildings and they are all wheelchair accessible. Having Scottish heritage, we really enjoyed the Kay Woolen Mill with its plaid and machinery displays.
BONUS ADVENTURE
Oregon State Hospital - Salem, Oregon
While the hospital itself is large, the museum is only a small portion. It is very interesting and worth the visit, but it was overwhelmingly sad for us because we've had a close family member that experienced "treatment" in the 1950s that would now be considered cruel and inhumane torture.
