Old Textile Mills In Oregon

Old Textile Mills In Oregon

Had the privilege of touring the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill (Part of the Mission Mill Museum) in Salem, Oregon last Friday. I have toured it before, but it has been many years ago.

The first time I didn't take any photos, this time I did. It's a great place to visit. Between visiting this old textile mill and gift shops, restaurant and historic structures throughout the complex you can have a very exciting and fulfilled day.

This is the third post on the Mission Mill Museum complex. See Part One Here and Part Two Here.

Mission Mill Museum Gift Stores

Mission Mill Museum Gift Stores

In an earlier post I had photos and talked about the Mission Mill Museum in Salem, Oregon. However, it was on a Sunday..it was closed and had to photograph it from the outside.

Well not to worry! How about another day? And, this time photographing the inside of the place in HDR...concentrating on the super cool gift shops, and inside the textile mill rather than the out buildings like in the earlier post.

The gift shops are a conglomerate of different themes all expertly integrated into one large area. There is a central cashier who was nice enough to let me photograph it all.

My wife, and one of our friends were there with me. We were all impressed with the caliber, the uniqueness of the gift shops...really something to see. I hope my photography does it justice.

No flash was used...they don't allow them. Also, there is no way can I could get all the photos I took into one post...so more to come!

Mission Mill Museum

Thomas Kay Woolen Mill 1898-Mission Mill Museum

Located in Salem, Oregon the Mission Mill Museum is a must stop. It consists of the eighteen hundred era Thomas Kay Woolen Mill, Jason Lee House, John Boon House, Methodist Parsonage and a Water Power Interpretive Center sponsored by Portland General Electric.

Also, it has places to eat and shop. There is a lot to see...and very educational if you plan on visiting.

There was a lot of fog the day that I took this shots. The place was also closed, so I couldn't venture into the building and take photos. I have been on a tour there, but it has been years. Enjoy!
