The water tower was built in 1925 and the first gallons of water were pumped into it in March of 1926. This building was constructed after a fire destroyed our original American Legion building in 1992. Through much community effort, the building was constructed for cost of materials only. All the labor was donated. Carpenters, concrete masons, plumbers, electricians, and laborers all donated their talents to build our new community building.
Many functions happen here.
Dr. Lueger, D.O., maintains a small office here and sees patients on Thursday mornings. 505 Prairie St. The Axtell United Methodist Church was organized in 1878 as the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1940 the name was changed to the Methodist Church and in 1968 unification changed the name again to The United Methodist Church. Axtell is yoked with the Methodist church in Beattie. Rev. Dennis Hanna is the pastor of both parishes.
