Remnants
The Mission Bottom site is now preserved as Willamette Mission State Park. The little settlement along Mill Creek grew to become Salem, Oregon. Some of the original structures may be seen at Mission Mill Museum located in Salem, Oregon. The Oregon Institute, established in 1842 to educate the white children of Mission Mill, evolved into present-day Willamette University. A city street and a cemetery in Salem bear the name of Jason Lee. A statue of Jason Lee stands in the U. S. Capitol Building’s Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C. as one of the two statues allotted to the state of Oregon.

Famous quotes containing the word remnants:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
