The Cottage Grove National Guard Armory is Oregon's latest entry in the National Register of Historic Places.

The Cottage Grove Armory, located in the downtown historic district of Cottage Grove, Oregon, is significant for its use as a military armory and as a community center and civic heart of Cottage Grove.

Constructed in 1931 using funds from state, county and city bonds, it was the first armory built in Cottage Grove and one of the 10 original armories in Oregon.

During its use, the Cottage Grove Armory was home to two batteries and an infantry unit of the Oregon National Guard, as well as a community center hosting activities such as the County Fair, high school dances, roller-skating, Grange meetings and the Boy Scouts.

LORANE, Ore. - Eve Nickle and her mom, Cynthia, were cleaning house on Cottage Grove Lorane Road when an unloaded log truck overturned and crashed Monday morning.

Eve called 911 while Cynthia, an EMT with the Lorane Rural Fire District, went to check on the driver, who was OK.

"It's called 'Cynthia's Corner' because everyone tends to wreck on my mom's corner, pretty much in this general area," Eve said.

"There's probably at least an accident a year - not all log trucks, but pickup trucks, and those mailboxes over there have been taken out several times," Cynthia Nickle said.

She has come to know the sound well.

"It's the usual sound of a freight train kind of crashing, and then we're like, uh oh, must be another log truck," Cynthia said, "so, we just called 911, and I came out."

She capped the radiator fluid leaking from the truck and took the driver's vital signs as they waited for first responders to arrive.

"She's really lucky," Cynthia said of the driver.
