About the Business

Bush House Museum, located at 600 Mission Street Southeast in Salem, Oregon, is a museum dedicated to exploring and interpreting the history of Salem's Bush Family and Bush's Pasture Park. As a part of the Salem Art Association, the museum aims to educate, entertain, and challenge visitors through its exhibitions and programs.

The museum is currently undergoing a redefining process to address historical wrongdoings and promote inclusivity and diversity in its presentations. The institution condemns Asahel Bush's racist actions and words, and is committed to fostering growth and healing in the community.

Visitors to the Bush House Museum can explore the two-story Italianate home, original farm buildings, and a collection of artifacts, furnishings, and documents related to the Bush Family. Guided tours and programs have been offered since 1953, making the museum a significant cultural heritage asset in Salem.

As the museum continues to evolve and engage with its audience, feedback and suggestions for future programming are welcomed. The Bush House Museum is supported in part by a grant of Transient Occupancy Tax funds from the City of Salem.
