The Schulenburg Turnverein, a German gymnastic club, erected this building in 1886 at the corner of Summit Street and Upton Avenue, presently U.S. Hwy. 90. Constructed by Henry Bohlman, Turner Hall became the primary community center and over the years hosted theatrical performances, musical concerts, social events, and seasonal celebrations. The local American Legion post obtained the hall in 1936 and moved it to Wolters Park in 1937. Turner Hall has continued to serve the Schulenburg community for more than a century.
