The oldest original church building in Ashland was nominated and placed on the National Registry of Historical Places as a representation of Gothic Revival Architecture in the community. The church was closed to regular worship services in 1983, but held occasional services until in 1992 the Ashland Arts Council acquired ownership.
Restoration is underway as funds become available.
The Bear Among the Ashland storefronts, located in the Willow Point Gallery on Main Street, is Archie Hightshoe's collection of animals. A big game hunter Mr. Hightshoe gave many years of community service to Ashland. The collection has nearly 30 animals including moose, black bear, pheasants, mountain lion, fox and a polar bear. The collection can be viewed at the Willow Point Gallery in an environment created by artists, Gene Roncka and Jim Shaul. A waterfall, stream and pond made of natural materials create quite a backdrop for the collection.
