THE MUSEUM OF PIONEER HISTORY

Founded on April 26, 1954, the Lincoln County Historical Society and Museum of Pioneer History is dedicated to the preservation of local history and the education of future generations in our shared heritage.

In 1966 the museum moved into its permanent home at 717 Manvel, known as the Mascho Building after the original owner. In 1982 the twin buildings at 719 Manvel were purchased with funds raised by the historical society. These two buildings are some of the oldest structures in Lincoln County.

Recent expansions include the purchase of 721 Manvel, the Children’s Historical Research Center in 2004, and the old bakery building at 715 Manvel in 2007. The bakery building is the future home of the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Museum and Hall of Fame.

The Lincoln County Historical Society and Museum of Pioneer History invites you to explore our website and ignite your enthusiasm for Oklahoma history. We are dedicated to presenting the past in a fun and thought-provoking manner through the presentation of our rich heritage. Please, take a look around and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us and visit the museum.

Remember, our exhibits and public programs change regularly throughout the year, so come and see what’s "new” in history.
