In response to the 2020 Pandemic, the Cottage Grove Historical Society has suspended our monthly presentations. We are still working to bringing history to our members and community. To that end, we are putting together several mini-lessons covering a variety of local historical topics.
Mini Lessons will be released once a week on our Facebook page and here on our website. Student Versions will be available and linked in each lesson. These lessons are designed for late elementary and middle school age students and include discussion topics and vocabulary builders.
As you spend more time at home, please enjoy these small bites of history.
