The Oak Ballroom is a historic building in Schuyler, Nebraska constructed with dozens of native oak trees hauled to the building site from the nearby Platte River using horse and buggies.[2] A Works Progress Administration project it was completed in 1937. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was designed by Nebraska architect Emiel J. Christensen.
Native rock is used for the walls and the ballroom is at the entrance to Community Park on the Mormon Trail.[3] Chuck Hagel recalled attending dances at the ballroom and a fight at the locale.[4][5]
