Oak Creek Town Hall Preserved and Rehabilitated
Built: 1927
The Town Board purchased land for and began construction of a town hall, jail, administrative offices, a vault, and firehouse in 1927. The long, narrow cinder-block-and-stuccoed building, conforming to its lot size, was used for these purposes as well as a voting location and social gathering place until the mid 1990s, after which it fell into disrepair. The Historical Society of Oak Creek and Phippsburg was awarded State Historical Fund grants to refurbish the building and convert it into a museum due to its historic significance, its prominent location in the town, and its architectural integrity. It now houses a museum to complement the coal and agricultural historical park located on the adjacent lot.
