Today
The Central Oak Heights of today is much different that what it was like in the early days. Most of the cottage owners are retired. They gather there in the summers with their families and enjoy the cool temperatures provided by the abundant shade given by the trees. Revival meetings have long since been discontinued, although Sunday worship services continue to be held in the original Tabernacle. The summer camp which ended in the 1980s is a part of history. The cabins still stand. Some have fallen into disuse and others are rented out to the occasional family or youth group. The swimming pool, dining hall, and pavilions are also rented to families and youth groups, and they receive regular use from the families of the cottage holders.
In the Summer of 2009, the Heights celebrated its 100th Anniversary. Many events took place on the grounds, including guided tours, concerts, open houses, picnics, and even Antique car rides.

—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Oh, how much is today hidden by science! Oh, how much it is expected to hide!”
