Thanks to a grant from the Linn County Historic Preservation Commission (LCHPC) and a generous donation from Mary McAreavy Lewis the storm windows project at Historical Hall has been completed.
Any donation to the CCHS helps us continue protecting two of Coggon's historical buildings; the Clemons House (built in 1887) and the Historical Hall (built in 1898).
