District No. 28 School is a school building in the city of Ramsey, Minnesota, United States, just north of Anoka. The school is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was originally a school house, but later became the town hall. The building is one of only a few structures remaining from the beginnings of the township.The comprehensive plan for Ramsey's development, developed in late 2008, views the old town hall as a metaphor for the community: "A small, aging brick building stands like a question mark between a day-care center and a bank. A weathered sign identifies it as the Ramsey Town Hall. Although no longer used, this structure personifies Ramsey today. It asserts the key issue is not if Ramsey should grow, but how it will it develop." The city of Ramsey has been exploring options for the old town hall. One option would be to use it as community space and/or a historical center. Another option would be to lease out the space to a nearby business as additional office or meeting space. The third option would be to move the building from its current location to a new location in a city park and to use it as community space or a historical center. Under all three options under discussion, the renovation would be completed. However, moving the building would most likely cause it to lose its status as a historical site.

Windego Park Auditorium/Open Air Theater is an amphitheater in Anoka, Minnesota, located on the Rum River. The theater was built in 1914 and was spurred by the City Beautiful movement, as well as Anoka citizens' interest in outdoor entertainment and recreation. Its main organizer, Thaddeus P. Giddings, was a promoter of music education and had been organizing community singalongs in the summer of 1913. The theater is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The amphitheater was designed by William Gray Purcell, from the notable Prairie School firm of Purcell & Elmslie. The seating is on a steep slope, while the stage is on the level portion of the river bank. There is space for 1600 spectators. Purcell was particularly interested in designing the awning system after having taken an interest in the awnings used in the Roman Colosseum.In 1936, Giddings left for Michigan to organize Interlochen Music College (now known as Interlochen Center for the Arts) in Interlochen, Michigan. Community interest in the amphitheater waned, and the facility started decaying, with shrubs and trees starting to grow between the amphitheater's concrete risers. In 1979, an architecture student from the University of Minnesota drafted a plan to restore the amphitheater, and this restored interest in preserving it. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places that year, and community organizers did some cleanup work and patched the concrete steps. In 1997, the Windego Park Society was organized.
