Wilson, Oklahoma
History, Historical Society, Library
Most of the artifacts in the Museum were actually used by individuals living in and around Wilson. In addition to artifacts, the Museum is very involved in preserving and recording the history of Wilson and the region. Microfilm copies of all Wilson newspapers in existence are located in the Museum. Obituaries of many Wilsonites and area residents are available. Additionally, articles are being collected and placed into albums about Wilson and area history. Visitors can read about/research individuals, organizations, and events contained in the albums in the Museum.
In addition to viewing the artifacts and perhaps conducting some research, visitors often comment on the restrooms, as the walls have been decoupaged with ads, articles and headlines from Wilson papers from 1915 to 1950.
