Save The Oakdale Tabernacle

We value the historic Oakdale Tabernacle and support its renovation and upkeep so it can be used and cherished now and for another 100 years.

Why is this important?

The Oakdale Tabernacle is a 103-year-old historic building with deep ties to the community. It is in danger of demolition due to decades of neglect by the Freeport Park District, which has deferred simple maintenance and closed it for use. Other significant structures at Oakdale Nature Preserve Park have been demolished and despite studies and plans for renewal of the Tabernacle, the Commissioners have taken no action to take care of this irreplaceable structure.
