This is a neat feature showing 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 where each photo was taken from for an interesting walk around our community.

The feature is brought to you by the Cottage Grove Area Historical Society whose members diligently searched the photo archive and snapped new photos to show what the area looks like in the community today.

The Cottage Grove Historical Society has regular meetings for those interested on the History of our Community. Please check out the Historical Society page hosted by Cottage Grove Online
