The new museum opened in April, 2008. The building of the museum was, in part, funded by a grant from the Oklahoma Centennial Commission and many local donations.
Our organization was founded in 1977. A museum building, a Rock Island Depot,and a 1928 shoe shop with equipment open to the public. Outdoor artifacts include a caboose and two coal cars. The History Center landscaping is now complete with brick walkways, patio/firepit, and a rose garden. A metal laser-cut land run sign depicts the early day history of our community (once known as Pennington,Sweeney, and Harrah).
