Museum Moments (February 2023)

It is a new year at the museum. There will be a lot of things happening at the museum this year. We will be turning 55 years old this year! Since 1968, the Historical Society has been preserving Sapulpa and Creek County history. This month the museum received many interesting donations. These donations include a painting from a local artist, found items such as military discharge papers, a diploma, and a baptismal announcement. We have had a lot of Research Requests come in, too. There is a form to fill out online through our website (https://www.sapulpahistory.org/research-department.html) that asks if you are reaching out to find family history, building or business history, or just a question in general about the town. If we haven’t reached back out to you about your question, we may be backed up in the Research Department. If you could send us a reminder-email, we will reach back out to you with an estimated time.
We have found very interesting stories through our research this month. One story involved a missing body, and another story involved the rough-and-tough outlaws coming into Sapulpa. At the museum, we also have a lot of wonderful tours, and return visitors. We love sharing the stories of the historic Sapulpa. Our volunteers are keeping busy sharing the tales of our town.
