Fourteen Flags Museum
Probably the most interesting exhibit here is their collection of cattle brands. There is also the restored log cabin of Judge Frank Faulkner (built around 1845), a Union Pacific caboose and some other stuff. The name, Fourteen Flags, is derived from the fact that Oklahoma has had 14 'national' flags flying over its territory. An interesting paper by Muriel Wright on the true flags that have flown over the Oklahoma territory can be found at: 14Flags.
  Open daily 9a to 5p. Closed Christmas Day. Admission is FREE but they really would appreciate a donation.
