[edit] Orville Christophel Park

Most people believe it was Gustav Oelwein who built the cabin in the Orville Christophel Park, but he was not involved with the cabin. J.B Burch built the cabin in 1852 which still stands at the park today. Size: 1 acre. Located at 1st Avenue and 1st Street SW, this park is also known as Orville Christophel Memorial or Log Cabin Park. The park offers a historical monument from days of yore, picnic tables, benches, and parking for downtown shopping.

[edit] Vandalism

I grew up in Oelwein (and was there last weekend actually) and the people adding their names into the page, oddly enough, I know them (not personally, but by name), sadly enough they are just immature kids. I have put this on my watched list now to keep an eye for future vandalism. --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 18:35, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
