Description

The Chisholm Trail Museum is located directly on the trade route that evolved into the famous cattle trail. Displays and exhibits feature a timeline of history beginning with Jesse Chisholm, the Chisholm Trail, Native American and Pioneer artifacts, and history of 1889-1893 land runs. A frontier village with church from 1890, bank from 1889, one-room school house, and two log cabins (one belonging to the mother of the Dalton Gang) are located on site. The second territorial Governor Abraham Seay's 1892 Victorian shingle style mansion is located across the street from the museum. During month of December, the museum is decorated with homemade ornaments and gifts and displays of holiday traditions from around the world.

We visited this facility today and found it to be a hidden gem in Kingfisher. The historic displays were wonderful and the pioneer town was like stepping back to a time when things were much simpler. The tour of Governor Seay's mansion was both detailed and informative. The museum staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We would recommend this find to anyone with an interest in history or just looking for a chance to learn something new about Oklahoma!
