OKC Streetcar – Coloring A New Downtown

When we really think about it, Oklahoma City and Kansas City have a lot in common. Both are located in the heart of the country and filled with welcoming residents. They are located on the I-35 corridor, which bisects our nation. They are both transportation hubs and share a history associated with the cattle industry.

A visit in the summer of 2019 showed us how the OKC Streetcar is coloring [...]

Touching The Past – Oklahoma History Center

The idea of containing all of the history of a state in one location would be futile.
