Touring the Willamette Community and Grange Hall is like entering a time tunnel. Propped up on a bench on the ground floor of the disused historic building a few miles south of Corvallis at Greenberry Road and Highway 99W there is a photo that includes O.H. Kelley, one of the founders of the Grange movement just after the Civil War.
A massive wood-burning furnace anchors one corner. It was there nearly 100 years ago when the Grange Hall opened in 1923 (two earlier iterations of the Willamette Grange, which were located west of the current hall, were destroyed in fires in 1889 and 1922, respectively).Â
Benton Co. History: The Ghost Town of Brennyville
Benton County Historical Society Executive Director
Mary Ostby says the town gets its name from Father
Peter Brenny who first established a new parish there, then a general store, and finally a cheese factory.
Brenny was the priest in nearby Morrill.
The church was approved in 1925 and by 1928 the cheese factory was under construction.
Father Brenny went to Wisconsin and hired a man by the name of Jack Adams to run the cheese factory, then he bought a truck to haul the cheese to Wisconsin to sell it.
People were buying it locally, but they were also shipping it to Wisconsin, which is known as a major cheese place. So the quality of it was excellent.

The history of early Black settlers is told through personal stories and artifacts. Some were enslaved when they arrived. Others came to Oregon by choice.
All faced legal and social inequities, said Zachary Stocks, the executive director of Oregon Black Pioneers, an organization dedicated to preserving and presenting the experiences of Blacks in Oregon.
Stock said he hopes the exhibit gets people thinking.
“When we talk about our state’s history and the pioneer narrative that defines the Oregon experience, we don’t often think about the Black individuals who were also part of that experience,” he said.
