Artifact(s) of the Month

This month's artifacts of the month once belonged to Elizabeth Sapulpa (daughter-in-law of Chief Sapulpa; and who built the Rock Creek Church). In her restaurant, Indian Cafe at 103 S Main, the majestic stove where she cooked, and the dishes she used in the establishment can be seen in the images above.

*It took the museum a while to find information on these items. We knew where the artifacts came from, however, we do not beyond this; we didn't know when or where the restaurant was located, how many years the Indian Cafe ran, nor when it first established. The newspaper did not mention the restaurant, Elizabeth Sapulpa's obituary did not mention her business(es), nor did the City Directories list the Cafe as a "restaurant". In the 1916 City Directory, however, listed under Elizabeth Sapulpa it says she owns the Indian Cafe at 103 S Main. This was the first and only information we had found regarding the restaurant.

History is not something that we should dismiss. I am not alone when I say that history is an integral part of our improvement. If we are not able to think about what has happened in the past, then we will not be able to improve on them. I seriously believe that it is important that we think of ways to make our lives better through history. This is all that I have to say.
