Brigadier General James B. Thayer
Oregon Military Museum at Camp
Withycombe as a major regional
attraction that celebrates Oregon’s
military history from Native
American warriors and the founding
of the Oregon National Guard
through the present day.
To provide hands-on educational
programs on Oregon’s military
history for school children and the
public, without regard to size of

The Museum is named in honor of Brigadier
General James B. Thayer, one of Oregon’s finest
military and civic leaders. James Thayer joined
the U.S. Army in 1942, earning the prestigious
Silver and Bronze Stars for his combat service in
Europe during World War II. Second Lieutenant
Thayer’s anti-tank mine platoon discovered and
liberated a Nazi death camp, Gunskirchen Lager,
near Wels, Austria, saving the lives of more than
15,000 Hungarian Jewish prisoners.
