In pursuit of its Mission, over the years, the Board has used donations and grant funding to purchase and preserve several significant historical properties, as well as, assisting in the construction and management of the Veteran's Memorial.   These community facilities are managed by the Association, in some cases through a separate Board of Directors or a Sub-committee .

 

Most of  these properties are self-supporting, however, those that aren't are cared for through volunteer help, donations, and other fundraisining efforts.

 

The properties overseen by this Board are:

  • The Linn County Lamb & Wool Fairgrounds

  • The Carol Bates Memorial Stage

  • The Big Red Pavilion

  • The ZCBJ Hall (managed by its own Board of Directors)

  • The Riverview Hall
