Mission Mill MuseumMission Mill Museum is a Salem, Oregon historical attraction. The Mission Mill Museum, so named because the museum includes the 1898 Thomas Kay Woolen Mill. The original Kay Woolen Mill opened in 1890 with a workforce of 50 who labored 60-hour weeks. In 1895, a fire destroyed much of the mill and outbuildings. By 1898 the mill had been rebuilt. Two additional stories were added in 1941. The museum also includes the 1841 Jason Lee House, the 1847 John D. Boon House, the 1841 Methodist Parsonage, and a Water Power Interpretive Exhibit by Portland General Electric. The exhibit demonstrates how the Mill was run using the water from Mill Creek.
