General Store
You will be totally amazed at the detail and accuracy of our 1880s General Store, from the grain barrels to the bottles of elixir behind the counter.
Historical guides will walk you through the store to help put the various items in historic perspective:
- Understand the tools of the period
- Learn how foods were stored in days before preservatives and refrigeration
- Hear about primitive medications and healing herbs
- See the selection of hardware and supplies needed to maintain a frontier ranch
- See early toys, clothes, and "luxury" items of the 1880s
This collection has been accummulated over many, many years by the Whinery family, and most tours will be conducted by owner Don Whinery or his father, A.L. Whinery.
The Whinery's are avid collectors and extremely knowledgable about the items in their collection. Don is a member of the Board of Directors at the Cowboy Hall of Fame, and has also served on the board of the Oklahoma City Art Museum.
Guided Tours are only $5 per person,
or purchase a tour of both the Museum
and the General Store for $7.50
