No. 3 Parade 1916 Main Street Looking SE

Looking East – Main Street between what is now 6th & 7th streets – Westenhaver Bros. in Burkholder Woods Building – Sample Store and Benson Drugs in the Phillips Building – Rosewood Meals in The Bank Building.

The 1916 parade was a grand patriot event. In the Cottage Grove Sentinel, July 6th edition’s account of the parade there is mention of the patriotic address being delivered by the Oregon, Attorney General George M. Brown, who refused an invitation to speak at Seattle in order to be here in Cottage Grove. Do you recall the famous celebrity who was Grand Marshall for Cottage Grove’s parade in the early 1970’s?
