Oakfield Pioneer Heritage Society
Location: - 11009 Podunk N.E.
¾ mile South M-57
½ mile West of Lincoln Lake Rd.
(no mailbox at museum)

 The Oakfield Pioneer Heritage Museum is located at 11009 Podunk Avenue, ¾ mile south of M-57 and is a fascinating place! Besides historical exhibits, there are many indexed historical archives and documents of Oakfield Township for genealogical and community heritage research.  Bring the children to learn more of their local heritage with our puzzle sheet to guide them.

 The Oakfield Pioneer Heritage Museum is open from 2 to 4 pm the second and fourth Sundays from June through September ( in 2010:  June 13 and 27, July 11 and 25, August 8 and 22, September 12 and 26). 

 The Oakfield Museum participates annually in the “Spring Into the Past” tour of area small museums which is held the first Saturday and Sunday of May from 11 am to 5 pm each day. The Flat River Historical Museum and the Fighting Falcon Museum, both in Greenville, are also part of the tour as well as other museums from Edmore to Hastings and Lake Odessa to Ada and small towns in between. This is an opportunity to visit many museums on the same weekend, rather than having to find when their various visiting hours are at other times of the year.  Maps and information are available at any of the museums on the tour. 

 Monthly meetings of the Oakfield Pioneer Heritage Society are held third Thursdays from April to October at 10 am. Everyone is welcome and anyone with an interest or connection to Oakfield Township is encouraged to become a member. Membership dues are just $10 per year which provides some limited funding for displays and activities. Memorial gifts are also welcome.

 For the future we will continue to enhance and develop exhibits of historical connection to our township and of interest to its people.
