I took this video while driving through Oakwood recently on U.S. 79.

This Christmas village display was set up in a window of the historic Oakwood State Bank.


Oakwood State Bank was actually named the smallest bank in America and is 100 years old.

If you will be driving through Oakwood, stop and see this display. The village is beautifully decorated and a train runs through the tracks. A small Santa and his reindeers circle above.

When you get to Oakwood from Palestine on U.S. 79, turn left on FM 542 near the blicking light in Oakwood. The bank is located on the right side before you get to the railroad tracks.
