History
Oakland was the first city to be placed on the state's historic register, in May 1968. The city's two-block business district consists of the original brick buildings built in the 1880s and 1890s. Stearns Hardware has been in operation since 1887, which has occupied the Stearns Hardware Building since it was built in 1891. Over 80 properties in the city were constructed between 1852 and 1890. The Oakland Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in March 1979.
Several films have been shot in Oakland, including Fire in the Sky, Didi's Last Wish, and Grand Tour: Disaster in Time. A home in Oakland was featured in a 2021 episode of The Dead Files, in which the show's crew investigated allegations of unwanted paranormal activity reported by the residents.
