The Inside Scoop on the Museum and Town's History

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...

Sapulpa had one of its worst floods when 15.5 inches of rain fell on September 4, 1940. Over 100 homes were affected which caused 300 people to be rescued. The American Legion opened for the Red Cross to be able to feed stranded motorists who were unable to use the highways either west or south. (Sapulpa Herald, September 5, 1940).

'Historical Highlight' features this-month-in-Sapulpa-history.

Historical Highlight is the second segment of the new series, "Then and Now." This particular segment will be available every 2nd Friday each month. The series will be available every Friday (July 2018 to June 2019).
