Willamette Heritage Center includes numerous buildings including the Thomas K Woolen Mill where my grandfather Orville Gardner was the night watchman then millwright from the 1930s until his death in the 1960s. My father slept in the wool blankets and uniforms made for the troops during World War II as well as enjoyed salmon every night caught in Mill Creek which kept the family alive during a time when food was scarce. The church my grandmother attended was moved to the grounds later as well. I have attended weddings of friends and family here as well.

Very lovely and amazing historical site. The historical societies that worked on this, did a great job preserving the buildings and other items. The grounds are clean and beautiful. Interesting back story. Definately worth spending a few hours and a few dollars to support this. We had a great time!
If do you need venue for wedding or any party- great place. Or you just want to see history items this is great place. A lot cute small shops and cafe.
Haven't been there since I was 15. It was worth it. For people like me with a sense of history and heritage, it is a fascinating look at what was, because only in understanding our past can we prepare for the future. My only complaint is that many functions carry on simultaneously occur, but it's minor in the grand scheme of things. The various shops have fascinating merchandise, and the overall experience was greatly positive.
Wonderful local historical spot. The old mill is rad. Cool buildings and tours. Also they have events in the big hall and it's always cool.
