Description

The Anadarko Philomathic Museum, also known as the Anadarko Heritage Museum, is a wonderful small-town museum of general and pioneer history.  Housed in Anadarko's old Rock Island Depot, the Anadarko Philomathic Museum was founded in the 1930s by the women of the Anadarko Philomathic Club.  The club wanted to exhibit old and valuable articles pertaining to pioneers, American Indians and the local history of the area.  The museum began with a single display case in the city library, located on the third floor of city hall at First and Main, and expanded with the acquisition of the Rock Island Depot in the 1970s. 

Formally opened on August 6, 1936, the Anadarko Philomathic Museum features early-day antiques donated by pioneer families.  Featured items include railroad memorabilia, American Indian dolls, military items and a photo collection.  Recreations of an old-fashioned country store and a pioneer doctor's office are also located within the museum.
