Cimarron Heritage Center

"Stopped there on our way back to Colorado from Turkey, Texas (the home of Bob Wills). I've always liked Boise City. Been there many times but never even thought about the museum until a like-minded friend mentioned it. Highlights? Jody, Dixie, quality, size, and merchandise. Jody, our host, was most gracious and helpful. The displays capture well the era and the area - the Dust Bowl, the Santa Fe Trail, and other history. Great merchandise, including many books with local and regional flavor; we got a sticker, a book about the Oklahoma Panhandle, and a postcard with an aerial view of the Black Mesa. Don't forget to ask about Dixie if she doesn't introduce herself to you."

"Much bigger than you’d expect. The small house is nice but the back metal building has a lot of historical items, most of which are within the last century. War memorabilia, lots of textiles, and home items. We missed the opportunity to go out back but we did look out back and the yard is probably 4-5 acres with all kinds of things to look at. For the area it is a very cool stop and look at place."

"The exhibits in the museum include a fascinating look into the 1940s. The Santa Fe trail displays depict Oklahoma's piece of that history. The architecture of the Cox House is very reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's influence. The museum is definitely with the stop."

"This is a big town museum in a small town. I just happened to notice it while camping across the street. I spent 1.5 hours here. If you really want to see everything indoors and out, plan on an hour. Oh, and did I mention it's free? I highly recommend this place."

"My husband and I were in Boise City for the long weekend, due to freight being slow on a holiday weekend. We walked up and explored the museum. What a fun and interesting excursion! Lots of interesting things to see in this museum! We spent 3 hours, and still didn't get to see everything! Well worth the walk and time!"
