What an interesting place! In 1920's, a preacher decided to build a replica of the holy land and…read moreJerusalem. By 1934, his quest was complete. 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.

The City of Apache is very near and dear to my heart. I used to spend many endless summers there as a little girl visiting my grandma and grandpa. They have passed on and as a way to cherish those memories, I thought that there would be no way that I could not include them in "These are just a few of my favorite things" Apache's Claim to Fame is their Annual Rattlesnake Festival which was just held (I've never been to this) and their resident, Maury Tate created the Mobetta Shirts that were worn and made famous by country singer, Garth Brooks!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6YRyNviBMk&feature=related Anyways, now that my grandparents are with the angels in Heaven, I doubt that I will be going back but I know that the memories are just a calm close my eyes moment away!!! I still love you and miss you grandma and grandpa!!! Pros: If you run out of gas, no problem walking home! Con: If you do something stupid one night, everybody in town will know about it before you wake up!

This is a triangle building at a small triangular intersection. Very strange. The building has a giant bottle of milk display with Oklahoma Braum's milk. It is a grocery store built in 1930.

Especially in terms of classical beauty and architecture. It looks old and yet new. It's different... but the same. Oh wait I was channeling Bill & Ted. 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. Then, we were led to the house & given the opportunity to explore! Each room is opulent with painted ceilings, ritzy carpets & very fancy furniture from the late 1800s. 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.

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.

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.

The story board tells the history. The caboose is in very good shape but the stairs and ladders are removed to keep people from playing on it and possibly getting hurt or damaging something.
