The building, with its distinguishing Tudor-style architecture, was originally built in 1929. Over time it has become a landmark, known by both tourists and local residents alike, as the heart of Schroeder. Now home of the Schroeder Area Historical Society, the Center houses a collection of oral histories, photographs and memorabilia.
Displays of fine art and craftwork by several local and regional artists can be enjoyed and purchased at the Cross River Heritage Center.
