Known as the hometown of country superstar Garth Brooks as well as for its lively annual Oklahoma Czech Festival, Yukon sprang into being in 1891 as farming community. As one of Oklahoma's largest ethnic festivals, the Oklahoma Czech Festival goes all-out with music, a parade, costumed dances, crafts and plenty of Czech delicacies. The Yukon Historical Museum, located in a 1910 school building, tells Yukon's history and delves further into the town's heritage in the Czech history room. Horse lovers delight in Express Clydesdales Ranch, home to some of the world's most beautiful Clydesdales, housed in a beautiful barn originally built in 1936 and restored by Amish barn specialists in 1997.
