We hit 2,500 followers! Thank you, Oakfield! 🏛️🎉

From the early days of the Cary Seminary to the booming U.S. Gypsum mining years, Oakfield has an incredible story worth telling and 2,500 of you agree!

To celebrate this milestone, we are featuring this classic throwback of the historic Arnold House (originally the Olcott House), where our village's very first local leaders were elected all the way back in 1858!

We want to keep sharing and preserving these rare memories, but we need your help to reach even more people. If you love seeing these vintage photos and town history, could you take 10 seconds to share this post to your own timeline?

Let’s see if we can reach the next generation of Oakfield-Alabama alumni, neighbors, and friends. Thank you for helping our community grow! 🚀

June 6, 1944 — D-Day

Eighty-two years ago today, Allied forces launched the largest amphibious invasion in history, landing on the beaches of Normandy in an effort to liberate Europe from N**i occupation.

The operation was the result of years of planning and cooperation among nations united in a common cause. Soldiers, sailors, and airmen from the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and other Allied nations faced immense danger as they crossed the English Channel and stormed heavily defended beaches under enemy fire.

More than 10,000 Allied troops were killed, wounded, or missing on D-Day, but their courage established the foothold that would ultimately lead to the liberation of Western Europe and the end of World War II in Europe less than a year later.

As we remember D-Day, we honor the bravery, sacrifice, and determination of those who answered the call of duty. Their actions changed the course of history and helped secure the freedoms we enjoy today.

Lest we forget.
