Artifact of the Month:
Euchee Alumni Military Veterans plaque.

"The idea of researching the names of Euchee Mission graduates who had served their country in the military was conceived in 1994 (or 1998) by a small group of Euchee Alumni Reunion Planning Committee...The plaque will be unveiled for the public viewing June 2007 in Okmulgee at the Tribal Complex during the bi-annual meeting of the Euchee Alumni Reunion. The plan is to house the plaque at Sapulpa Historical Society Museum. It will become a part of the Museum's collection of Euchee School historical artifacts and memorabilia. The public will be welcome to come to the museum to view the plaque."
