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. This is a wonderful attraction for both history and architecture or interior design buffs. Admission is free.

As house museums go this is just a 'good' - it's a middle class redidence (OK, upper middle and for Norman, pretty darn good) and porbably not lavishly funded today. Still, the docent was more than personalbe and enthusiastic about her job and house/family history. Typical ginerbread Queen Anne with machine millwork and a fairly generously sized interior, interestingly updated by the original family to move with the changing times (1905 style - running water, but only when the city gets its sewage system, lol) It' worth a stop, doesn't cost much and you'll probably be the only visitor - better be, there's parking for 1.75 cars :)
MoreOur tour guide was very nice, knowledgeable and friendly. The house was very unique and full of pretty antiques. Although the tour guide was new, she did an outstanding job , I learned some new facts about the lifestyle during the early 1900's. I have a history degree, plus I have taught history for ten years. They did not charge for admission which is wonderful for budget minded tourist.
