4.5 Memorial to Yamhill County Soldiers of the World War (7 reviews)
- Very moving local war memorial with new WWII monument close by...
Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues • Government Buildings

Being a U.S. Navy veteran of the Vietnam War era, I stop at all small town war memorials while on road trips around the U.S. This one is located in McMinnville, Oregon. It was dedicated in on Armistice Day, now Veterans Day, November 11, 1923. Carved into the upper granite panels are the names of all of the Yamhill County soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice in The World War, April 6, 1917 to November 11, 1918. Some soldiers died of typhus following the armistice while waiting for transportation back to the States. On the lower panels are Memorial plaques to Yamhill County soldiers who died in all wars since WWI. This bronze Doughboy statue is located on the well kept grounds of the county courthouse. When you are finished here, walk a couple blocks to the front grounds of the Oregon Mutual Insurance building. There you will find their new WWII Monument to McMinnville soldier Leonard DeWitt recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross for Valor. See more..
5.0 Rainier City Hall (1 review)
- Approaching 100 years of service
Sunday: Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Government Buildings

The Doric-columned City Hall in Rainier has seen many sights, including Thomas E. Dewey giving a campaign speech from the front steps in 1948. The top floor once housed a boxing ring, where amateur smokers were held on weekends (in between, it was the local Boy Scout troop headquarters.) Now it is the home of the Rainier Oregon Historic Museum, and the city library. The city jail (one dank cell) is in the basement. The building will celebrate its Centennial in 2021. See more..
