Oregon Film Museum

About

The Oregon Film Museum celebrates the art and legacy of films and film-making in the State of Oregon.

Story

Since 1908 (The Fisherman’s Bride), 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. Some have called the State “Hollywood North.”

Housed in the old Clatsop County Jail, the museum invites visitors to explore these and other films and the production behind making movies in Oregon. Wander through this building that was an actual working jail (from 1914 – 1976) and the scene of the famous opening jail break from the Goonies.

Mission

The Oregon Film Museum celebrates the art and legacy of films and film-making in the State of Oregon. The OFM is owned and operated by the Clatsop County Historical Society; a 501(c)3 educational orgination dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of Clatsop County Oregon and the surrounding area.

Cool spot! Gotta see it, especially if you're a Goonies fan. Cheap to get in and they have interactive filming areas to keep your kids entertained. Self guided. One of the homes used in the movie is just around the corner too.

If you're looking for a shrine to the Goonies, this is it. It's more of a one-time stop, because the movie was released in 1985 and there is no real need for updates. Other (partially filmed in Oregon) movies are alluded to here, but it's mainly for just the hard-core Goonies fans. Spend the $6 and take an hour here. I am just opposed to it being called "Oregon Film Museum" when it should be more truthfully "Oregon Goonies Museum"

This is a "hands on" interactive museum, you are your own tour guide. Have fun, learn about movie making and of course get into having some Goonies fun!

The front desk lady was super helpful and very welcoming, especially as we were those people who came in the last half hour of the day.

Cute little place. Go down the little hall to the back and there's some historic info about the jail/town. Neat place!!
