A weekly update on the ins and outs of the museum. We showcase the "Artifact(s) of the Month" every 1st Wednesday. We highlight the "This Month in History..." every 2nd Wednesday. We see the sights of "Then and Now" in Sapulpa every 3rd Wednesday. And we share our moments in the museum world every 4th Wednesday. This is with our collaboration with the Sapulpa Herald for their Wednesday newspaper under the segment called "Museum Musings."

Did You Know...?

H.H. Brown, general manager of the Frisco, had written the city attorney and said he would be in town to discuss the possibilities of building a new viaduct and a subway at Thompson Ave. It was believed that a subway (underpass) would be relatively cheap due to the elevation of the tracks at this location. This would also relieve some of the traffic congestion on Dewey. Traffic was sometimes tied up for 15 to 20 minutes due to freight traffic on the railroad. This was never done, however. (Sapulpa Herald, Nov 24, 1920)
