Opened on May 28, 1926 on the site of a former livery stable in downtown Salem, Oregon, the Elsinore Theatre was built in a style inspired by European castles, with a Gothic "nave and aisle" foyer design that the theatre describes as unique among theatres. It debuted as a silent film and vaudeville house, with an opening night screening of Cecil B. DeMille's "The Volga Boatman" accompanied by a Mighty Wurlitzer Organ. Over the decades the theatre's stage has hosted performers including Clark Gable, Ethel Barrymore, Harry Lauder, the John Philip Sousa Marine Band, Gregory Peck, and Itzhak Perlman. After falling into disrepair as a second-run movie house through the 1950s-70s, the Elsinore was revived by a preservation committee in the 1980s, converted into a performing arts venue in 1993, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. A $3.4 million "Return to Grandeur" restoration was completed in 2004, and the theatre celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2026. Today the Elsinore Theatre operates as a live event venue in the heart of downtown Salem, programming live music, comedy, dance, and holiday shows across genres, with restaurants within walking distance of the building.

The Willamette Heritage Center connects generations by gathering, preserving, and sharing Mid-Willamette Valley history across a five-acre campus in the heart of Salem. Fourteen historic structures make up the grounds, including the 1841 Jason Lee House and Methodist Parsonage — the oldest standing wooden frame houses in the Pacific Northwest — along with the John D. Boon House (1847) and the 1858 Pleasant Grove Church, one of the oldest remaining Presbyterian churches in Oregon. Formerly the site of the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill, founded in 1889, the Center's historic buildings now host weddings, receptions, rehearsal dinners, corporate meetings, and community gatherings for groups of up to 250. The Spinning Room, on the third floor of the 1896 Thomas Kay Woolen Mill, offers exposed brick, warm wood floors, and string lighting, with a kitchen and card room available for use alongside it. The ground-level Dye House sits directly over the historic mill race and opens onto the property through a rustic sliding barn door, while the WHC Lawn and Pleasant Grove Church provide outdoor and historic-chapel settings for ceremonies. Every venue rental includes tables, chairs, and setup handled by WHC staff, along with free on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible spaces, and the freedom to choose any caterer. Rental proceeds help fund the ongoing preservation of the Center's collections, historic buildings, and grounds.

You have arrived in the very center of Salem's historic district. The Victorian home known as Deepwood was built in the Queen Anne style, and it is located in a public park that spans five acres and features formal gardens, nature trails, a greenhouse, and the original carriage house. The City of Salem owns the property, which is situated in close proximity to the central business district of Salem, and the Friends of Deepwood are in charge of managing it. Deepwood is included on the National Register of Historic Places, and in addition to providing a wide range of activities, including events and programs, it is also open to the general public throughout the entire year. The town of Deepwood is known for much more than its picturesque appearance. We invite anyone who is interested to come and explore Deepwood, whether it is to take a stroll through the gardens, take part in a special event that is held on the grounds, or tour the museum home. The Deepwood Historic House Museum is a non-profit educational institution that offers tours, exhibitions, and lecture series that provide visitors with an insight into the early history of Salem. We are grateful to have you as a part of our continuing legacy.
