There are multiple buildings and structures to remind you of the Holy Land. Each year the annual Easter pageant is held here. 2025 will be the 100 year anniversary. The inside of the chapel is quite beautiful. If you're a Christian like myself and Glenda, so things are quite touching And meaningful. Well worth stopping if you're in the area. It's a short drive from Medicine Park, Oklahoma, which you definitely need to see! Glenda took way more pictures than I did.

We've seen many articles online talking about this seemingly eerie place and decided to visit…read moreyesterday afternoon. We thought it was a much bigger forest but it wasn't small either, it was big enough. We explored mostly to the right side of the forest but saw people walking back out from the left. We spotted a cow towards the left that's why we didn't head that way. The tall trees were lined up like we've seen in pictures but there was not much else to see. It was an interesting sight to see nonetheless. Makes you wonder why the trees were planted in such a fashion. It was a nice and cool walk around under the trees too! On the way back out, the cow decided to start moving slowly and eventually blocked our way out of the forest. The husband and I slowly moved in the opposite direction and made as little noise as possible telling each other not to move suddenly or talk too loudly. The cow kept moving and eventually cleared our path. Phew ..... LoL ... Well that was fun if it wasn't for the cow!

Teresa was a WONDERFUL tour guid and even let us see all of the bathrooms and even the back patio area. She even told us there are haunted tours and should come back if we were interested in that area. Overall loved it, friendly atmosphere, lovely musky smell, and the history goes deep, and the tales go deeper. 10/10 recommend if your ever in the area.

This meridian, established in 1870, runs north-south through present-day Oklahoma and served as a key reference point for land surveys. For the 1889 Land Run, which opened the Unassigned Lands to non-Native settlement, the eastern boundary was approximately where the Indian Meridian lies, near the present-day counties of Lincoln and Pottawatomie, with the line running close to what is now U.S. Route 177 or Indian Meridian Road. This boundary separated the Unassigned Lands from the eastern territories reserved for Native American tribes, such as the Creek and Seminole Nations, under existing treaties.

Gorgeous view for miles and miles. Some of the people there were going out on the edge for selfies. Not me! Going down was much better. The view is worth the drive. Go to Mt. Scott!

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.

The history is amazing & was so fun to learn about. The volunteers were wonderful & knew a LOT of great facts. We LOVED our time & are hoping to return around Christmas.
