Oak Grove is the name of a road. Oak Grove has
had a lot of things happen there. Oak Grove use to be a saw mill,
grist mill, a blacksmith shop and three dwellings. In 1956 Josiah
built and operated a steam grist mill until 1885. Developers called
the mill house the Mansion Hotel. They called the barn the Hotel
Stables. The creamery and both mill buildings are still there.
Sites for a factory, two schools and a Catholic Church were put on a
map.
The maps were sold to individuals that lived in the city, so they
could get to the Mansion Hotel. I think Oak Grove is the most
historic place I know. I like Oak Grove because I live on Oak Grove
Road.
I picked Oak Grove because I thought it would be interesting to learn
about my road. I think Oak Grove Road is a nice place to live on. I
especially think it might have been nice to look at the saw mill and
grist mill.
