Inside the dim, quiet rooms of the Lincoln County Museum of Pioneer History, approximately a century and a half’s worth of artifacts, documents, and the legacy of the county are stored and preserved for future generations.
Starting Wednesday, May 4, the museum’s hours will be expanding, making this legacy available for a larger portion of the week.
The new hours will be 10 am - 4 pm, Wednesday-Saturday. The Museum is closed Sunday-Tuesday each week. Admission is free.
The Lincoln County Museum of Pioneer History houses the history of the county, including antique items, pictures, and family history research resources such as marriage, divorce, and death records from across Lincoln County, and records from businesses around the county.
Inside, the Bill Tilghman room remembers the story of William “Bill” Tilghman.
As a Sheriff of Lincoln County, U.S. Marshall, OKC Chief of Police and Okla. State Senator, Tilghman was considered one of the last great lawmen of the old west. He was responsible for the peaceful capture of Bill Doolin, of the Dalton Gang, in the 1890s.
The museum also can provide assistance in researching family history for households across the county.
