Discover the Oakfield Museum
Have you visited yet? If not, we’d love to welcome you! If you have, there’s always something new to discover.
From our recreated mineshaft and hardhats with carbide lamps to the fascinating history of the U.S. Gypsum Company, once employing over 80% of Oakfield’s population, our exhibits connect generations.
But that’s just the beginning.
Explore surprising chapters of our town’s past:
German & Italian POWs
A Native American fort site
An unsolved mafia hit
The presence of the KKK
We offer private tours for reunions, family gatherings, church groups, and more. Whether it’s your first visit or your first in a while, stop by and say hello. Oakfield’s history is waiting for you!
