Looking for something to do while passing through southern Oklahoma? We were staying at Lake…read moreMurray and decided to check out the Greater Southwest Historical Museum. We were certainly glad we spent several hours there. We've visited lots of "local" museums but this one gets the grand prize. Located in a former national guard armory, they have thousands of feet for displays and they've utilized all of it. They've moved settlement log homes inside, after disassembling and documenting each part so they could be reassembled perfectly. The whole museum is a collection that shows how people in the area lived in years gone by. A doctor, a bank, a school, a drug store soda stand, a blacksmith shop... the list goes on and on. They have extensive coverage of the oil and agricultural industries, which played a very important part in the local economy. The docents were very friendly and answered all of our questions about the exhibits. We also listened to some funny stories, too. Be sure to visit the Military History Museum while you're here. It's located in the same building and it's very interesting. Both museums are free to enjoy, but be sure to leave a nice donation for each one to help keep them going.

What a gem this museum is in Ardmore! They have so much packed into this museum. I expected this…read morestop to be a quick one but 2 hours later there I was still looking round. It is free but be sure to leave a donation so this can stay open. The people working the front desk were so helpful giving us info on the museum and the area. They have a full sized log home inside that was moved from a nearby area. Be sure to check out the back building with the farm and the outside area with oil field equipment.
