Oaks Indian Mission Museum
Introducing the Oaks Indian Mission Museum, a significant initiative focused on honoring and preserving the esteemed history, Oaks Indian Mission. Located in the historic two-story "Rock House," constructed from locally quarried native stone, this museum is dedicated to celebrating the heritage for future generations. We are grateful for the full donation from Phil and Florence Larsen of Blair, Nebraska, which covered both renovation costs and operational expenses. This project aims to commemorate the impactful narratives that have shaped our Mission.
