Historic Mattie Beal Home

"Beautiful home in a not so nice side of town"

"The Mattie Beal Home was my favorite stop in Lawton, OK. Mattie was an interesting woman! From her love match marriage after over 400 proposals of marriage, her beautiful art, to her generosity toward the town where she lived, this woman led an amazing life. The home she and her husband built is beautiful - and their family story will warm your heart. Mattie Beal was a woman ahead of her time. The tour is full of information and well done!"

"Awesome house. The guided tour is very helpful in getting to know the owners. Loved the stories told. Great stop."

"The ladies that have us the tour were so friendly and knowledgeable! We caught them at a slow time so we got special attention! They even offered to take pictures of my family for us at the end! Thank you for an amazing experience!"

"I love when history is salvaged. Up north there are many historic homes and sites that are preserved because there are people who are interesting in saving history. Sadly we don't see this enough in Oklahoma. With that said. Mattie Beal's house is a fun tour, the tour guides are incredibly knowledgeable and it really gives you a look into the era of her life. The house also boasts some really cool ideas like the faucet less bathtub, the hanging ballroom, the curved front doors and the cinnamon roll banister. Great place to go and step back in time. The only thing that would make this even better is a working garden. I am not sure she had one, but the ability to incorporate plants and flora that were local to the area and around in that time would be amazing. Mattie Beal house gives one hope that more historic sites around Oklahoma will be saved. Photo credit: Jessica Stone Photography"
