Had a good variety of exhibits from objects and education to personal contributions of passer-by and locals. My favorite installation was herbal remedies from visitors and I got some good ones I'm going to try! They also have an exhibit that teaches about the long history of mining in the area from a human and family perspective, where a visitor can say which mine their family is associated with. Such a wonderful place for someone like me who has family history in the area, or someone who has never been there and just wanted to walk through. Glad I finally made the trip. One of the finest museums I've been to in a long time (I've been all over the world to many museums), and honestly I learned a lot more than expected from such a small town. Very impressed and will be recommending to colleagues and fellow travelers. Keep up the good work! Kind and friendly staff with a nice gift shop- got half my Christmas shopping down! Highly recommend for any visitor- very affordable and well worth the time and small fee

Most of this art museum is dedicated to his works and accoutrements. If you are fan of Cowboy/Western Art then is a must stop. I Particularly was interested in the Spanish folk art, and Native American pottery. This museum hosts a lot of local artists, with Hans Droog being of particular note, his "Swirly Horse 1" is mesmerizing. The building the art pieces are housed in is 115 years old, this building itself is a work of art, the hardwood alone floors made me swoon. You can easily spend an hour here moving on the 1st floor then 2ed floor and then back down to the gift area. Allyson, was very kind to take time out of her busy day and explain Mitchell's relationship to Harold Von Schmidt who's use of color is unique, his style and expressiveness draws you in, you feel as if you are in the scene he has created. Allyson also answered a million questions, the chat with her was as interesting as the art work. Free admission is the cherry on top.

I had just "climbed" Black Mesa (highest point in OK: https://www.yelp.com/biz/black-mesa-summit-trail-kenton) and I wanted a hot breakfast. The nice little ol' lady running the Museum said she didn't have hot breakfast, but she did have hot coffee and homemade cookies! I chugged some coffee and gorged on some incredible homemade cookies. I also got to chat with the older couple that run this place. They are incredible sweet and are incredibly knowledgable about the area. When I told them I had just made it to the top of Black Mesa, they offered me a summit certificate! I signed it, she signed it, and it was made legit. Now, when I'm old and grey and have joined the high-pointer club...I will have PROOF for the state of Oklahoma! The "museum" itself is a tiny, charming building built out of stone blocks that resemble the rock found in the area. There is a wide variety of trinkets and artifacts as well as some great free maps (necessary, as there is no cell signal in vast sections of "No Man's Land" up here). Definitely stop in if you find yourself way out here.
