Mennoville Mennonite Church First Mennonite Church in Oklahoma Territory Organized 1891 and built in 1893 by twenty-seven charter members, including some of the personnel from the Mennonite Mission Industrial School for the Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians at the Darlington Agency and Mennonites who settled in this area soon after Oklahoma Territory opened by run on April 22, 1889. This colony was southernmost for Mennonites along the Chisholm Trail. Farmers of Swiss, German and German-Russian descent were urged to settle here to establish the Christian faith on the frontier. Regular services were held at Mennoville for 61 years. The church structure was moved to Heritage Square in El Reno in November 1997 from its original location seven miles north of El Reno on U.S. Highway 81.
