Historic Mighty Oak Park
South of 115 E Front Street (Private Residence) | Open 24/7
Love historical downtowns and sitting in the shade? This Historic Mighty Oak Park offers panoramic view of Perry’s small downtown, and offers a long history with the area. The site was initially the water pump and trough for weary horses coming through the area in the 1800s. In the 1890s, the current tree was planted. Over the next few decades, this tree soon replaced the pump, and saw the growth, decline, fires, and floods that affected the community. During the 40s through 60s, many weary travelers on Old 24 Hwy stopped here to lounge under the tree. Today, it serves as a reminder of how strong our community is and how we preserver anything that comes our way. When visiting, be safe and attentive of your surroundings!

Perry Rural School Track & Field
Corner of Maple and W 3rd Streets | Open 24/7
Trying to find a place to walk that is more secluded and is pet safe? This is the original track to the late Perry Rural High School.
