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 2012: June 10 and 24, July 8
and 22, August 12 and 26, September 9 and 23).
The Oakfield
Museum participates annually in the “Spring Into the
Past” tour of area small museums which is held the
first weekend 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 and donations of historical interest are
appreciated.
For the future
we will continue to enhance and develop exhibits of
historical connection to our township and of
interest to its people.
