Mill Museum is home to the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill. Established in 1889, this water-powered mill turned Willamette Valley wool into fabric until the early 1960s. Today the mill buildings have been transformed into a museum that retells the story of community and industrial changes in Salem.

Mill hosts greet and lead visitors through the mill exhibitry, demonstrate machinery and provide extra safety for artifacts. Since the flow of visitors is unpredictable, this position also affords opportunity for completion of other museum or personal projects.

This position can be tailored to your schedule, but is confined to the museum’s operating hours, Monday-Saturday 10:00-5:00. We would prefer at least 3 contiguous hours monthly or weekly.

See our website: http://www.missionmill.org/SpecialFeature.htm for upcoming training sessions.
