Gives a bit of perspective. It's worth the stop to meet the owners and to learn about the beginning of Oklahoma as a state, and the Choctaw Indians and the history of the removal. The museum is located near the Mountain Fork River, so if you are planning a float trip, you can stop by the museum before you hit the water.

Its hard to find (your GPS may lead you to the wrong place - I updated the location on Yelp so it…read moremay lead you correctly), and if you go during the summer its going to be hot, but its worth it. I came here based on reviews on a travel site, and I'm glad I did. Although it may be hit or miss, I believe most of the time you will find a very elderly gentleman as a tour guide. Jackpot (assuming you aren't in a hurry, which you shouldn't be if you are here). He was a wealth of knowledge. This isn't a traditional museum. Its an old house, full of artifacts. Some you would expect, some you wouldn't. We started by viewing EXCEPTIONAL examples of fossils and crystals in the porch area, as shown in the pics I posted. This isn't even all of them, and the pics do not do them justice. They were museum quality specimens for sure. Inside there are signs posted everywhere not to take pics, and so I did not. As mentioned there are traditional antique items you would expect in an old home, but in our opinions, the best part was the antique guns and indian artifacts. I think that little kids would be bored and hard to control here, but older elementary age and up might really enjoy this place. I know we did!

I could write for days about such a thing, but that takes away from the museum. The museum has a few exhibits for free in the lobby. If you want to see the rest of the first, and the second floor, it's $5.00 for adults, which isn't bad, considering the amount of information and the orderly way in which it's presented. Of course, flash photography is not wanted, as it can cause older items to deteriorate more quickly. They had early maps of the area, including a French map of the Native American Indians, which was quite informative. A handy guide to French would have made it accessible to everyone. They presented many items from the 1800s and early 1900s throughout the building, including vehicles, tools, and clothing. There were newspaper articles explaining events. I was surprised to see the creative use of typography, given the difficulty of manually assembling a page of metallic type. Along with this, they showed a couple of printing presses. On the second floor, they went into later years, up through the 1960s, and touched on subjects more likely to still be on the minds of older generations in the area. I suspect that school kids will go to the museum no matter what, but those who don't know about the history of the area should take the trip. Besides, feeding a museum in order to help preserve your history isn't a bad thing at all.
