“Documentating the history of film's in oregon”
The Oregon Film Museum celebrates the art and legacy of films and film-making in the State of Oregon. Since The Fisherman's Bride, in 1908, Oregon has helped give birth to such classics as: The General The Great Race One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Paint Your Wagon Animal House Kindergarten Cop ...and, of course, The Goonies.

The Clatsop County Historical Society operates the Heritage Museum, and the Uppertown Firefighter's Museum. In 2005, as part of the 20th Anniversary Celebration of The Goonies, the Heritage Museum featured a temporary exhibit of Goonies memorabilia. It was our busiest weekend, month, and summer we had ever had! Plans to create the Oregon Film Museum began shortly afterward.

Quite underwhelming if I'm being honest. We planned to tour the Flavel House but opted to purchase the combo ticket to all 3 museums. It's certainly not an expensive tour, and I wasn't sure what... Read more
