  • THE HISTORIC BUSH HOUSE MUSEUM IS PRESERVED AND INTERPRETED TO EXPLORE THE LIVES AND LEGACY OF SALEM'S BUSH FAMILY, THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF SALEM, AND THE HISTORY AND DIVERSITY OF EARLY OREGON. THE ROOMS ARE FURNISHED WITH A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF THE BUSH FAMILY'S ORIGINAL FURNISHINGS TO SHOW WHAT THE HOUSE LOOKED LIKE AROUND 1913. THE HOUSE WAS MODERN WHEN IT WAS BUILT, WITH GAS LIGHTING, INDOOR PLUMBING, AND A CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM; AS THE HOME OF A WEALTHY FAMILY, IT DOESN'T REFLECT THE LIFESTYLE OF MOST OREGONIANS LIVING IN THAT ERA. SALEM ART ASSOCIATION HAS STARTED THE PROCESS OF RE-EXAMINING THE LIFE AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF ASAHEL BUSH WHOSE RACIST RHETORIC AND SUPPORT OF EXCLUSIONARY GOVERNMENT STRUCTURES STILL IMPACTS NATIVE AMERICANS AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR TODAY AND FINDING WAYS TO DE-EMPHASIZE HIS INDIVIDUAL STORY WHILE CREATING SPACE FOR THE STORIES OF SALEM'S DIVERSE EARLY COMMUNITIES.
