Nice trails with new interpretive signing in the works. Great place to visit for history buffs or just to get out for a walk.
The curator is definitely excited about his work which helped us learn a lot when we stopped! They are in the middle of renovations and they hadn't put up signs yet when we were there. We are sure glad we found it though! We are hoping to come back when the new center is all put together.
The reenactment was fantastic! The actors did a great job during the battle and with answering our plethora of questions afterwards. The announcer that talked the crowd through the battle was very knowledgeable about the local history and the events leading up to the battle. For those who are thinking about attending the re-enactment, the battlefield is on one side of the Main Street and you park across the street in a pasture field. If it has rained recently, it can get kind of muddy. There were vendors set up at the battlefield site that carried goods and food for sale. There were portable toilets available for public use. Across a small Bridge from the battlefield on the same side of the road as the battlefield, the actors had a campsite set up that you could mingle through after the re-enactment. I would recommend getting to the battlefield half an hour beforehand, bringing a chair or blanket to sit on, and bringing hearing protection for anyone who does not like loud noises (children, in particular). The canons are VERY loud.
A wonderful place to take your family to get outdoors and learn about some little known Oklahoma Civil War history. The new Visitor Center and Museum is a must see!
We went to the new visitor's center and it looks to be awesome and will get even better when they have all their permanent exhibits in. The man working there is clearly excited about history and gave us a very detailed description of the battle, and letting us look around and watch a interesting video even though it was a little past closing time. Will definitely come back again
