The Oregon Film Museum highlights and celebrates movies that were made in Oregon. The Museum is housed in the old Clatsop County Jail in Astoria, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Oregon Film Museum opened in 2010, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the 1985 film “The Goonies” where the building was used for the famous opening jail break scene.
The museum features hands-on exhibits related to films that were made in Oregon, in addition to “The Goonies”, which include “Kindergarten Cop”, “Twilight”, “Sometimes a Great Notion” and “National Lampoon’s Animal House”. The Museum is located at 732 Duane Street. For hours and information, call (503) 325-2203. www.oregonfilmmuseum.org
