Honoring Local Veterans

Warrenton Veterans’ Memorial

A tightknit coastal community sought to honor a long history of military service. Lottery support helped bring that dream to reality.

A Proud History of Service

Welcome to Warrenton signLocated on Oregon’s north Coast, the tight-knit community of Warrenton has a long  history with our nation’s military. From hosting the Lewis & Clark expedition at nearby Fort Clatsop over the winter of 1805-1806, the area has remained a key military location ever since.  It is the site of Fort Stevens, Battery Russell, Camp Rilea and the US Coastguard station. With this strong military presence, is it any wonder that many Warrenton residents have proudly served their country in the military? These are the local heroes the memorial is meant to honor.
