Very interesting place to explore. Indoor scene has fascinating stuff to discover. Outside are trails that lead to oil field scenes from way back in history. Lots of old antiques from oilfield from way back in the old times and progressive to more modern stuff. Pretty cool experience.

I wrote a review back in 2015 and I’ve been again and it is stunning! You must revisit if you haven’t been in awhile! It’s been renovated and right now during the holidays, it is just STUNNING!! Don’t miss the Derby room with our own 2 Derby winners from 1959 and 1987 and all the memorabilia, trophies, etc! And the art rooms are full of beautiful pieces. The planetarium has great shows, and the kids will love the children’s museum. There is the farmers market and activities year round. Check the calendars for events or just go experience the mansion built in the 30’s. It’s really beautiful.
