Reviews of Museum of the Western Prairie
"Very nice museum, well taking care of . We really enjoyed our stop by there !!! Very nice exhibits. The outdoor part was great too!!"
"This is one of the best local history museums I have ever been to. They did a great job explaining how this region was once claimed by both Texas and Oklahoma. The exhibit on the Atlas ICBM was also excellent."
"The little museum is a hidden gem! I loves the music and information in front of each exhibit. The outdoor area is also exceptional providing a feeling of what it must have been like to live on the western prairie. The two women working there were helpful and demonstrated obvious expertise. I can't wait to go back to the events next week."
"This is a very informative museum. The prices are fair and the staff is so nice! You can see lots of antiques and learn all about Altus and surrounding areas. Beautiful history!"
"This museum is awesome. It shows the great history of the surrounding areas and all of the neat artifacts that pertain to it. The staff was super knowledgeable and helpful when it came to questions."
