Over Labor Day weekend, visitors are welcome to come inside our new Tracks and Trails Museum to enjoy the exhibits; shop in our museum store for some of the many historical books, pamphlets, coins and cards; and hear many of the wonderful stories about the town of Oak Creek.

TOURS

In honor of the Centennial Celebration, tours will be offered both Saturday and Sunday. Sign up early for a spot at the Tracks and Trails Museum.

Oak Creek Town Tours
A brief history of the town will precede the tour of unique buildings around the town. A pamphlet detailing the history of almost 50 structures is part of the package.

A Labor Day annual event is the BBQ in Decker Park on Saturday from 4-6:30 p.m. Homemade food and good down-home live entertainment provide an early evening pause. Children can play while adults visit. All proceeds go to the Historical Society. All are welcome.
