Inscription. Oakdale United Methodist Church began as a brush arbor meeting at the entrance to the mill village, built by members of the community. After the Little Schoolhouse was built in the early 1880's, the church met here there. In 1915, a church was built on the current site and in 1943, brick veneer was added.
