Marion County
Historical Society Museum
Step back in time and view the exhibit "Doorways to the Marion County History." The rich history of Salem Oregon and Marion Conty is preserved and interpreted with additional information on how to explore more sites in the area.
If you would like to delve more deeply into the past, you can use the research library and archives, or make a purchase from the Marion County Historical Society bookstore.
The Marion County Historical Society was established in 1950 to preserve local history and to educate. In addition to operating the museum, the organization publishes a monthly newsletter, a quarterly historical journal, and books documenting Marion County's past (available at the museum).
