The Methodist Mission to Oregon began with a focus on education, and the Willamette Heritage Center (WHC) carries this focus forward. The Center can be viewed not as an add-on field trip, but as a partner with schools, combining educational needs with solutions. It is the desire of WHC to provide students with the knowledge they need to develop their own sense of heritage by connecting the present to the past, enabling them to make better choices about their future.
We offer:
Our hands-on educational activities are available on-site at the Center, or off-site through our outreach programs, were we provide the instructor, lessons and supplies to your classroom.

Orientation Video:
An orientation video is available for use as a classroom pre-visit resource. We highly recommend watching this video before bringing your students, as it will aid with preparing them for their visit, and will lead to a better learning experience. A $10 deposit is required and is refundable upon return of the video on the day of your tour. If you need a VHS format please request one otherwise you will receive a DVD.
