Fourteen Flags Museum
- Probably the most interesting exhibit here is their collection of cattle brands. There is also the restored log cabin of Judge Frank Faulkner (built around 1845), a Union Pacific caboose and some other stuff. The name, Fourteen Flags, is derived from the fact that Oklahoma has had 14 'national' flags flying over its territory. An interesting paper on what constitutes the true flags that have flown over the Oklahoma territory can be found at:
PettigrewPaper.
Open daily 9a to 5p. Closed Christmas Day. Admission is FREE but they really would appreciate a donation.
For more information phone 1-918-336-2491. Sorry, no web site.
From the Visitors' Center, drive on to the next street (Oak Street), turn left and the museum is on the corner of the next street (200 E. Cherokee Street).

- This was the 1829 cabin and home of Sequoyah who lived in the late 19th Century. He was a Cherokee and the inventor of their alphabet. They will even teach you the fundamentals of the Cherokee language and why the invention of a written alphabet was so challenging.
