The 1881 John M. Moyer House was built by Linn County, Oregon, pioneer John Moyer. The house was donated to the Linn County Historical Society in 1962 under a grant from the Hill Family Foundation. The Society has furnished the house with late 19th-century Victorian pieces and offers tours on weekends.

In 1974 the Moyer House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A carpenter by trade, Moyer began planning the house in 1878 in the Italian villa style. George F. Colbert, a friend of Moyer, helped with construction.[2][3]
