 Century-old landmark |

Cleveland County, home to Norman, Oklahoma and its Sooners, has a rich frontier history. This home, constructed in 1900 and now on the National Register of Historical Places, has been preserved by the city to serve as a living museum. As visitors explore the house, they will find exhibits detailing county history from the Land Run to Oklahoma statehood. The architectural style is Queen Anne, and rooms are furnished with period antiques and stained-glass windows.

Governor's mansion |
820 Northeast 23rd St Oklahoma City, OK 73105 United States +1 405 521 9211 |
This Dutch Colonial mansion of 12 rooms and 14,000 square feet has been the home of the governor since 1928. There is an Oklahoma room with a carpet featuring the state seal. The Phillips Pavilion was added on the grounds for larger parties, because the inside dining area was only able to seat 60 for dinner. The new pavilion also features a gift shop where you can pick up souvenirs and Made-in-Oklahoma items. Guided tours are offered on Wednesdays. Admission: free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This is one museum the kids will not mind visiting. Firemen hold a special mystique for children and adults alike. This Oklahoma landmark shows visitors how fire fighting has evolved throughout history. Exhibits of antique, century-old fire engines both awe and educate visitors. One of the favorite displays is Oklahoma's first fire station, a rustic log cabin built just after the Civil War. Unique items like a collection of uniform shoulder patches and fire alarms show little-known aspects that accompany the profession. Admission: $3 Adults, $1.50 Children, $2 Senior Citizens.

A marvel of interior design |
900 East Oklahoma Oklahoma City, OK 73044 United States +1 405 282 1281 http://www.guthriescottishrite... |
Constructed from limestone, this temple—which sprawls over a 10-acre property—looks like it has been transplanted from ancient Greece to Guthrie, Oklahoma. Visitors can spend an entire day here, marveling at the timeless beauty found in each of its 14 rooms. Each room has its own distinct character, with designs patterned after Assyrian, Egyptian, English, French Gothic, Italian, Pompeiian and ancient Roman cultures. It is truly a sight to behold, no expense was spared, as evidenced by the imported carpets and marble flooring, numerous chandeliers and nearly 400 stained glass windows. Review © 2007, Wcities |
