There is no entrance fee, but donations are accepted. Well done!

I highly recommend the Comanche National Museum & Cultural Center in Lawton. I personally loved…read morethis museum in Oklahoma. It's a bit off the beaten path, but parking and admission were free. Donations were welcome. The displays were gorgeous... you must be up for reading. I read fast! Because it is a smaller museum, I would plan for about an hour visit. Less if you read fast. Comanche words were scattered everywhere, tying in with authentic Comanche art, artifacts, or collections... a few of which photos were not allowed. One of my softball coaches from college was/is Comanche. I still keep up with her on Facebook and her involvement with The Comanche Nation. The Comanche Code Talkers of World War II will never be forgotten! They were amazingly resilient... "their codes were never broken!" Loved all of the local artists pieces. Plus my kid and I got to try on a buffalo robe. Very kind woman at the check-in area on 7.26.2025. Clean women's restrooms!

They have several hands on displays that are great for kids and adults. There is a movie theater that shows an 18 minute video about life on the cattle drive. I especially enjoyed their collection of western art. Their collection includes Remington, Russell and Catlin paintings. The outdoor bronze sculpture is amazing. The staff is very nice! They are very knowledgeable of the history of the Chisholm trail and more than willing to share their knowledge with visitors. Note: This review and photos were originally posted on Tripadvisor by Spike S.

We stopped at the museum and they have some nice displays of rose rock with an explanation of them. The curators / owners are a very nice couple and full of information. They also sell pieces of Rose Rock and other gem stones. Stop in and check it out. Their prices are very reasonable, so buy something to support them.

If you pull up to a house, you are in the right place. The museum is in an old house and is not really a museum, but rather a store. Very small and had lots of Rose Rock stuff you could buy. We did leave with a Rock, but ultimately I don't think this is a must see in OK. ‍

Fort Sill has two museums, the Artillery museum and the old fort museum. Both are good but the…read moreArtillery Museum is very fascinating and full of history. We came to attend our son's BCT graduation and this was one of the first places we visited and we are so glad that we did - our son's AIT will be Artillery and this museum has a wealth of artillery history from pre-revolutionary times to modern. I especially enjoyed the video showing us what our son will be doing in the Army Artillery. This old Fort Sill National Historic Landmark requires some imagination because it's still fully integrated into the base and officers still live in the old houses surrounding the parade field . Be sure to start in the main building and look at the diorama to get your bearings before you walk around. The best display is the old cavalry barracks which is set up exactly as it would have been around 1890-1900. Ft. Sill played an amazing part in our frontier history and this post does a good job of explaining it.
