Muskogee Oklahoma is the home of Girl Scout cookies and Bass Reeves the first black sheriff. In the United States. He was inducted to the cowboy hall of fame. Pretty cool nice town

This is an amazing place. Get a guided tour if you have the time. Angie was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the Museum. Just some of the facts:1. Sheriff Bass Reeves made Muskogee his home after he retired from Judge Parker.2. Girl Scout Cookies were first baked at a Muskogee High School. They were shipped to soldiers if not sold.3. Oklahomas first Governor was fr Muskogee.4. Muskogee was originally spelled Muscogee. The postmistress got so many misspelled letters she changed the spelling of the towns name.5. There is an original one-room school house. Interesting history you dont want to miss.Just go visit!

I learned many unexpected things in this museum. Small but very interesting. The employee offered to open the school and the train for us even though it was almost their closing time.

Today the Girl Scouts were selling Cookies. What most people dont know is that That Girl Scout Cookies got their start here in Muskogee, OK.This Museum has a lot of our area History. Past and Present. People need to visit and support everything the Museum is doing.

Little known fact:. Muskogee is the place where the first Girl Scout cookies were made and sold. Price? 2 cookies for a dime. They were made in the kitchen of the local high school. Our guide was enthusiastic about her museum

Has Exceptional Trolley Tours, Great exhibits, do not miss the Diesel locomotive in the back and the the period schoolhouse. Their history program (History Explorers) is second to none and now they have a entertainment and street vendors once a week. OH I would be remiss if I did not mention the tribute to the girl scouts out in front. For the serious researchers there is the archives, by special appointment.Thomas-Foreman Historic Home is part of the same group, in there do not miss the picture of the first US submarine post WWI. Many people miss the second facility it is about 2 mile away from the main. Lots of history of Oklahoma in this site. Note the water supplied to the house was via a cistern in the back. The flowers are beautiful.

Want to visit the replica of the tomb of the unknown soldier. Not as good as Arlington national cemetery but if you cant get there this is definitely worth seeing
