This museum educated my family on the surprisingly deep Altus (and surrounding area) history. I was pleasantly surprised. To set expectations, it is small yet informative. That makes it a perfect afternoon stop when looking for an activity in Altus, OK.

Small museum full of area history. The museum is in need of a desperate refresh as everything is starting to look extremely dated, and not in a charming way. No observed accessibility issues were noted during our visit.
