Community Involvement
Hundreds of the completed Community Creations prints for Affton will be donated to local organizations so that they can sell them as part of their fundraising efforts. Here are some of the organizations already set up to receive donations!
In 1969 Oakland House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1975 Oakland House received the first plaque given to a historic home by the St. Louis County Parks & Recreation Department. In 1983 Oakland House was recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey of the United States Department of the Interior in the Library of Congress.
Today Oakland House is owned by the Affton Historical Society that is responsible for the maintenance, preservation, restoration and renovation of the home. Such projects are funded through a combination of annual member dues donations, an endowment fund and ongoing fundraising events. The vast majority of the labor at Oakland House is provided by volunteer members of the Affton Historical Society and their families.
