The Gardner is a great place to see relics, antiques and tools from the Choctaw Indians. The…read moreChoctaws were moved from Mississippi to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears and here you can find the history and the relics. The (remains of ) 2000 year old Cypress Tree is very cool to see. Gives a bit of perspective. It's worth the stop to meet the owners and to learn about the beginning of Oklahoma as a state, and the Choctaw Indians and the history of the removal. The museum is located near the Mountain Fork River, so if you are planning a float trip, you can stop by the museum before you hit the water.

Its hard to find (your GPS may lead you to the wrong place - I updated the location on Yelp so it…read moremay lead you correctly), and if you go during the summer its going to be hot, but its worth it. I came here based on reviews on a travel site, and I'm glad I did. Although it may be hit or miss, I believe most of the time you will find a very elderly gentleman as a tour guide. Jackpot (assuming you aren't in a hurry, which you shouldn't be if you are here). He was a wealth of knowledge. This isn't a traditional museum. Its an old house, full of artifacts. Some you would expect, some you wouldn't. We started by viewing EXCEPTIONAL examples of fossils and crystals in the porch area, as shown in the pics I posted. This isn't even all of them, and the pics do not do them justice. They were museum quality specimens for sure. Inside there are signs posted everywhere not to take pics, and so I did not. As mentioned there are traditional antique items you would expect in an old home, but in our opinions, the best part was the antique guns and indian artifacts. I think that little kids would be bored and hard to control here, but older elementary age and up might really enjoy this place. I know we did!
