The best present a person can receive is love, but the second-best present is a box of puppies wrapped in money. Give a gift that is almost as good as a money-wrapped dog box with today's Groupon to Magic at the Mill, the 11th annual holiday festival at the Mission Mill Museum. Choose between the following admission packages:

  • For $4, you get two adult tickets (a $10 value).
  • For $3, you get two children's tickets (a $6 value).

From Sunday, December 19th to Thursday, December 23rd, the Mission Mill Museum adorns its historic grounds, structures, and pioneer ghosts with thousands of luminous colored lights. Families can wander 5 acres of lighting displays that take the forms of animated ducks, frolicking geese, swimming fish, and voting sheep while being serenaded by English country dancers, fiddlers, choirs, and live bands. Through it all, reenactors portray the stories of mill workers and mission dwellers, bringing to life the history of the National Park Service's designated American Treasure, the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill—which was vital to the economy of the Northwest in the late 19th century—as well as the restored Jason Lee House and Parsonage (among the oldest remaining wooden frame houses in the state). Kids can also visit Santa's workshop in the new North Pole foreign consulate or pen wish lists and send them via the on-site magical mailbox. Whether you bring a date or a fam, today's Groupon to the Mission Mill Museum lets you delight in a little holiday magic that for once doesn't accidentally summon the demon Chattur'gha.

Reviews

The Statesman Journal featured the Mission Mill Museum in 2009. Three Insider Pagers give it a four-star average.

  • The atmosphere there is really great and fun for kids, so bring them along. – Kimberly P., Insider Pages
  • I have visited this museum many times and the grounds are kept so nice. You can almost picture what it would have looked like back when the mill was in use. – Amy Ramos, Insider Pages

Willamette Heritage Center at The Mill

The Willamette Heritage Center at the Mill preserves slices of valley history by word and deed, keeping up 14 historic structures and filling them with historical tours and living history displays. The Jason Lee house represents the oldest building on campus, built in 1841. The structure also boasts the title of oldest surviving wooden frame house in the Pacific Northwest, and its interior sports the period appropriate furnishings right down to an iron stove and a snoring, bonneted grandmother. Nearby stands the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill, and piece of the Industrial Revolution that has survived since 1896, earning recognition as an American Treasure by the National Park Service. Workers keep the buildings clean and sound for tours and rentals, while actors keep the ground vibrant with living historical portrayals.

The Groupon Guide to: Animal Sounds

Identifying animal sounds isn't just for schoolchildren and the professional hunters who capture most of the meat our nation eats today—it's a skill that might just save your life. Test your knowledge by matching the animals to their telltale noises:

The Animals
1) Dog
2) Parrot
3) Tony the Tiger
4) Dodo Bird
5) Human


The Noises
A. Er-Er-Ber
B. Cluck-Cluck
C. Argh!
D. Bow-Wow
E. They’re Grrrrreat!


The Answers
1) D Dogs go Bow-Wow. Animal behaviorists believe this signature howl is short for "Bow, humans! Wow, you're not doing it…." Dogs hate humans.
2) B Parrots go Cluck-Cluck, assuming that the parrots have been living with a chicken.
3) E Frosted Flakes' spokescat Tony the Tiger went They're Grrrrreat!, though he was recently fired after being photographed eating Cheerios in a men's hotel outside Orlando.
4) A Dodo birds went Er-Er-Ber. Or did they? We'll never know, because man hunted the flightless dodos to extinction, believing their bellies to be filled with gold. Granted, they were filled with gold, but now there's no bird-gold for the rest of us. Thanks a lot, humans.
5) C Humans go Argh! to express their innate frustration that stabbing plants doesn't cause a delicious sugary goop to come out, even though that worked once, with maple syrup.

Does man live in frustration because of his inability to make maple syrup come out of more stuff?
