The museum is home to the photography collection of Joseph W. Hardin (official photographer for Governor “Alfalfa Bill” Murray and the Frisco Railroad) as well as exhibits on two famous Henryetta citizens – Troy Aikman and Jim Shoulders. There are also oil drilling, coal mining and other historical artifacts that make the Henryetta Historical Society & Territorial Museum an interesting visit.
“We are strongly looking forward to being regularly open for the public again,” a museum representative said. “We hope we can build a new relationship with the good people of Henryetta.”
For those who wish to visit, appointments are available. To schedule a tour, community members can contact Museum Director Brad Sellers at 918-758-9265.
The museum’s summer schedule coincides with a broader community effort to promote local history and tourism. Residents are encouraged to stop by, bring friends and family and take in the stories and artifacts that make Henryetta unique.
More information about future museum events and volunteer opportunities may be announced later this summer.
