Oakdale High School's first graduating class was in 1894 and consisted of 6 students: 1 boy and 5 girls. The second graduating class had 11 students: 4 boys and 7 girls. OHS celebrated its 125th Anniversary in October, 2018.
In Victorian times, this is where visitors were greeted. You'll see the items of everyday life: a pocket watch, a hat pin, a knife and a pipe. These are remnants of a bygone era, personal items we no longer carry with us, but things our grandparents wouldn't be without.
This once was the room where friends and family gathered to celebrate and share life's abundance. Now, it is a repository for Oakdale businesses and the people who ran them...along with a few more surprises.
