Along with St. Sebastian in Bismark, Assumption Church in Reedtown was torn down. However, these churches were not forgotten. This is the memorial for Assumption church. The original church was to the left. This is not just a memorial, but an entire museum! I didn't go inside, but they have 2 plaques of the original churches.
This is what the original church looked like. The plaque says:
"Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Built 1867 Burnt 1907"
This is the second church that everyone knew. According to past posts, this church was the same design as Blessed Sacrament in Lawton, Oklahoma. The plaque reads:
"Reed Assumption Catholic Church
Built 1907 Closed 2005
Razed 2019
By Toledo Diocese"
The memorial was erected in 2022
