This little museum is filled with so much interesting history you could spend a full day here. Best part they have it separated by rooms, i.e. kitchen, newspaper printing, hospital, farming. A must to see. Oh, had several old cars. Family orientated but you may need to restrain the little ones.

A fun history tour, one of the volunteers will guide you along and offer interesting tidbits and even open up the diner and schoolhouse for you to take a look inside! Sit in a classic model T car (it was a tight squeeze getting behind the steering wheel) and get your picture taken!

Exceptional! This is one of the best history museums that I have visited throughout the country. I love when museums take the time and effort to show history in period displays instead of just displays of artifacts. Period displays like a early 20th century kitchen draw you in to the past and tell so much more than just seeing the items loosely displayed. There are so many period displays here. With so much to see and enjoy here, I spent more time than I was planning to. Dont miss the out buildings. The staff was incredible. Thank you.

Wonderful to travel back in time a bit and learn a bit about the area. Great for all ages and, for you Elvis lovers, the museum has a diner in which Elvis ate in several times.

This was a great surprise. Much better than I expected. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They even kept it open a little longer so that I could take my time since we showed up near close. They have a lot of flashback displays which are fun to describe the old days to your kids. If you need an hour highway break its a great stop.

We planned to visit here but unfortunately Google was wrong and it wasnt open on Mondays. I took a picture of the opening times and updated their information. It looks like an awesome place to visit.

One of those unexpectedly well done little museums that will surprise you when you find them. This is great look back on both western Oklahoma and the US. Mostly the early to mid 20th century.

Im from Weatherford, OK, living there from 1950 to 1970. My wife and I revisited there last month. We ran across the Heartland Museum which I wasnt aware of before now. The museum was closed but, wow, the Porter House Diner, totally blew my mind. My mom, Edna Hedge, worked at this diner in 1950s under Harry Wright and another man later Carl Ditmore. This first diner had 12 or 14 dining seats and the old quarter juke boxes at each seat. Mom worked at the shorter, smaller version of the Diner, in the 60,s under Laverne Snow and later under Cliff Harris. I ate in these places many times. I remember 20 cent hamburgers, 25 cent cheeseburgers and 40 cent double-charcoburgers cooked on a charcoal grill.I occasionally washed dishes in the smaller diner and I even slept occasionally, as a small child in the back of the bigger diner in the 50s on a bunch of bagged potatoes in tote sacks as mom worked the night shift after her and dads divorce. I remember sneaking around in the back of the diner, when telephones were managed by live operators when you picked up the phone receiver. I refused to talk to the operator one time briefly then finally asked her what in the heck did she want! Needless to say, the operator called the diner back, after I hung up, and chewed my mom out mercilessly. My memory fades as to what my mom said or did to me!Yes, I heard about Elvis Presley visiting there and I also heard that Broderick Crawford, in the 50,s TV program Highway Patrol, also stopped in there and ate. Who knows the truth of this!!??Great memories!!Bob Hedge
