Since its construction for the Oregon National Guard in 1931, the Cottage Grove Armory has also served as hub of activity in a classic downtown, hosting sporting events, graduation ceremonies, dances, concerts and more. But the Armory needs support from the community and major restoration work to return to its former glory.

Following the National Guard’s relocation in 2009, the City of Cottage Grove purchased the beautiful Art Deco building and, with community support, is committed to its restoration, a project that will take place over the next several years.

A restored Armory will enrich a historic downtown Main Street, while boosting the local economy and once again providing an ideal building for hosting some of Cottage Grove’s premier events.
