Site Info:
Name: Yamhill Valley Heritage Center
11275 SW Durham Lane
McMinnville, OR 97128

Directions to Site:

From the North: Take 99W through
Newberg towards McMinnville. Turn left onto Highway 18. After
passing the 99W exit, turn left onto Durham Lane. The Heritage
Center is on the right. (It is on the corner of Durham Lane and
Highway 18 – Three big buildings with rusting farm equipment out
front.)

From the South:  Take 99W
towards McMinnville turn left on Durham Lane (if you get to the
city proper you have gone too far.) Go down Durham Lane until you
see the Heritage Center on the left. (If you get to Highway 18 you
have just passed it).

 

We are in the Activities

banner on the entrance door.
