A visit to Red Oak II is a visit to the past. You’ll see Grandpa Weber’s Blacksmith Shop, where Lowell’s great-grandfather practiced his trade, the Feed and Seed Store, the Old Phillip’s 66 Station which was originally located on old Route 66 near Red Oak, and the General Store which was originally located in Red Oak, was run by Lowell’s father and was where Lowell learned to sculpt and paint.
