My comment is brief, but firm. It is one of the best museums of Oklahoma history you'll find. Would you like to see a wagon that was used in two of the five Oklahoma land runs? And did the territorial hopeful actually acquire some land? This is only one of thousands of artifacts you will be privileged to see. If you make this museum a part of your Oklahoma visits, you will NOT go wrong.
I am a volunteer at the Oklahoma History Center and I am always gratified by our guests' compliments on the museum. Most are local residents who are bringing out of town family or friends in to visit for the first time. We hear statements like...Wow, I didn't even know this was here! and This makes me so proud of my state! all the time. Don't wait for a special occasion... come in today and enjoy the center NOW!
