The Robert Newell House contains several collections of artifacts. Built in 1852 and restored in the 1950’s by the Daughters of the American Revolution, the ground floor of this beautiful old farmhouse is decorated in the 1860’s style, filled with furnishings donated by Oregon pioneer families.
The second floor, once used for bedrooms for the Newells’ many children, is now a wonderful museum of artifacts. These include an outstanding exhibit of the gowns worn by wives of Oregon Governors dating to the mid 19th century.
Contained both in the Robert Newell House and the Pioneer Mothers Cabin are the collection of antique quilts and other textiles, spinning tools, and looms.
