Historical sites and memorials of Oklahoma

[dyabolical]

Okay so I love history, especially when it pertains to my area or something I am associated with.

With that said, how about a thread of locations and pics of historical and memorial sites in the area? And maybe even just cool places in general? Off the beaten path types?

I did a quick search but didn't find any results, but my search effort was kinda minimal. Lazy.

Sadly no pics exist, but there is always the legendary scratch I layed at Braden Park with the '65 Buick Wildcat..

In Edmond on Second street there is a historical one room school house, the first one in the county, maybe state or something like that which has been very well restored/preserved, I'll look for pics...

Edit: Here is a link, and it was the first school house in the Oklahoma Territory...

Any pics taken in person? I will try to get some up of the Teepee drive-in in Sapulpa up soon.

I really enjoyed visiting Ft. Supply. It's a ways out there, though.

Fort Gibson, OK. They have a smaller replica of the original fort. The hospital, officers quarters, and one building for enlisted soldiers still stands, the arsenal (i think) has a small museum. The town itself has a lot of houses/buildings on the historical register. They are currently restoring downtown.

Go out to the Tourist center on the North side of OKC off I-35 and raid their literature racks. Good reading in the winter and you can plan one day trips with the young ones. Also when you see the historical marker signs, stop and read, there are some interesting things happened around Oklahoma over the years. Throw a couple sets of binoculars in the back of the car for these trips and the kids will have a ball.
