We were certainly glad we spent several hours there. We've visited lots of "local" museums but this one gets the grand prize. Located in a former national guard armory, they have thousands of feet for displays and they've utilized all of it. They've moved settlement log homes inside, after disassembling and documenting each part so they could be reassembled perfectly. The whole museum is a collection that shows how people in the area lived in years gone by. A doctor, a bank, a school, a drug store soda stand, a blacksmith shop... the list goes on and on. They have extensive coverage of the oil and agricultural industries, which played a very important part in the local economy. The docents were very friendly and answered all of our questions about the exhibits. We also listened to some funny stories, too. Be sure to visit the Military History Museum while you're here. It's located in the same building and it's very interesting. Both museums are free to enjoy, but be sure to leave a nice donation for each one to help keep them going.

In all my years of writing reviews, I have never received such a hilariously thoughtful comment from a biz owner. While I highly doubt I will ever find myself back in OK, let alone in this particular part of OK, I am happy to shower the folks at Gene Autry with more stars, because A for effort! It sounds as if the museum has made a lot of improvements in the last 4 years, not to mention, added a punch of personality to an otherwise drab subject matter! Still no singing cowboy, though :(
