Visitors share in the abundance of a territorial farm, the brilliance of a one-room school house, the grace of a Victorian home, and the waste-not want-not ethic of a territorial farm family. There is no place else in Oklahoma that can offer this experience which captures the spirit of the brave men, women, and children who settled this state.

The new museum opened in April, 2008. The building of the museum was, in part, funded by a grant from the Oklahoma Centennial Commission and many local donations.
