More About Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Why not travel to:
Oklahoma City, the largest city in the state of Oklahoma, may prove surprising to some visitors who are only familiar with its western heritage. For instance, did you know the city is home to one of two museums in the U.S. dedicated to osteology (the study of the skeletal form)? Or that it hosts a museum all about the banjo? Or that it boasts one of the largest collections of Dale Chihuly glass in the world? Or that the shopping cart was invented here? That last one may not be as impressive, but it serves as a reminder of the city's appreciation for its (sometimes quirky) history.
For a look at the culture and Wild West ideals that shaped OKC, head to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. Care to snag your own pair of cowboy boots? Take a trip to Stockyards City, home to the Oklahoma National Stock Yards, the world's largest feeder and stocker cattle market, where live cattle auctions still take place every Monday. And for a moving tribute to the victims of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, pay a visit to the museum and memorial, which uses interactive exhibits to spotlight how future generations can harness hope and resilience in the aftermath of tragedy.
