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.

Parallel Forest truly feels like stepping into another world. Planted by the government during the…read moreDust Bowl era, this unusual 16-acre forest features more than 20,000 red cedars, all spaced perfectly about six feet apart in every direction. The effect is mesmerizing, as each tree grows straight up, creating beautiful lines and symmetry throughout the woods. Walking through the forest is both peaceful and surreal. The perfectly arranged trees and the quiet setting make it a fantastic spot for exploring, photography, or simply enjoying nature. On top of its impressive appearance, the forest's history as a windbreak project adds even more interest. It is a remarkable place to experience near the Wichitas and well worth a visit.

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.

I got my very own docent led tour of the house, built in the early 1900s. Very interesting, and awesome that most items in the house are actually the originals. It is a smaller house, so did not take all that long to get through it. Definitely worth the stop if you're into history at all!

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.

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.

It looks so quaint it could be in Disneyland - but it's absolutely real and not fake at all. Unlike my girl. I don't get tired of driving around the back streets of this neighbourhood and seeing this gorgeous building. And there's computers... and SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!

We started in the old barn, where both employees & several volunteers were there to give us a quick run down of the family & what to expect.

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.
