Tucker Tower is an icon for southern Oklahoma. Overlooking beautiful Lake Murray, it is well worth a visit.

The tower was a former summer retreat of Governor Murray that was built by the Works Progress Administration. The retreat is now a nature center, featuring many displays of area wildlife throughout the center.

Built by the WPA during the Great Depression as a Governors Retreat. It has been a geology museum history museum and now a nature center
