Cottage Grove Museum keeping city’s past vibrant

ERIN TIERNEY-HEGGENSTALLER / THE CHRONICLE Cottage Grove Museum board chair Becky Venice w) stands before the museum’s famed permanent exhibit,
“She Survived the Titanic: The Story of Marion Wright Woolcott, Titanic survivor.”

Just off North River Road sits a quiet neighborhood full of relics. 

The location is deeply rooted in the neighborhood’s history. Crank your head up and look for Mount David, a landmark in Cottage Grove’s landscape generally known as “the backyard of the community,” where motorcycle races were once held, and a bygone pioneer cemetery sits gated on its slope.

You’ll know you’re in the right part of town if you see an eight-sided historic church; it is believed to be the only octagonal building west of the Mississippi. 

On North H Street and in a cluster of nearby buildings, volunteers sift through artifacts, carefully cataloging and preserving the precious, extensive collection—half of which remains squirreled away beyond the exhibit displays. 

At the museum, you’ll find anything from signed quilts from local legends to a “timely exhibit” of calendars from long-gone storefronts to posters, books, and even displays of Cottage Grove High alumni.
