This is an interesting feature which compares current and past photos from the same area of the Village or Town of Cottage Grove in a side by side comparison. See if you can locate from where each photo was taken. This feature will aid you in taking a historic walk around our community with a better understanding of how it has changed.

The feature is brought to you by the generosity of the Cottage Grove Area Historical Society, whose members diligently searched the photo archive and snapped some new photos. There work is instructive in showing the area residents the changes which have occurred over time to our small community.

The Cottage Grove Area Historical Society (Which includes both the Town and Village) has regular meetings for those interested in learning about and preserving the History of our Community. Please check out the Historical Society page which is generously hosted by the Cottage Grove Online team.
