In just over a year, planners say a new museum celebrating Oregon’s film history will open to the public in the Cottage Grove Armory. The city and surrounding area has served as a backdrop to many notable films since the 1920s.
Recently in the lobby of Cottage Grove City Hall, Katherine Wilson’s voice trembled as a finance clerk handed her and her husband Phillip a $15,000 check.
The money from the Woodard Family Foundation launches a 24-year dream for Wilson, who’s worked on many major film projects in the past half century, including “National Lampoon’s Animal House.”
Thank you so much for the SHOUT Out, Oregon Film!
