2024 Official OKC Visitors Guide

OKLAHOMA NATIONAL GUARD MUSEUM (FORMERLY 45TH INFANTRY DIVISION MUSEUM}

Dedicated to the soldiers of the U.S. Army’s 45th Infantry Division, the museum has a massive collection of military vehicles, aircraft and armored calvary pieces and historic weapons. The 45th was a unit of the Oklahoma National Guard that served in WWII and the Korean War. Much of the collection focuses on the unit’s role in securing Hitler’s bunker at the end of WWII.

AMERICAN BANJO MUSEUM As much an art exhibit as a tribute to the classic bluegrass, folk and Americana instrument, this museum showcases the evolution and artistry of the banjo. Famous musicians are profiled, and rotating exhibitions feature well-known musicians, singer-songwriters and even the art of banjo decoration.

BLESSED STANLEY ROTHER SHRINE Built to honor and serve as a final resting place for the first U.S.-born priest and martyr ever beatified, the Shrine Church is designed in the Spanish colonial-style, inspired by the church Blessed Stanley served in Guatemala. The museum on site highlights the story of Stanley Rother’s life and mission, featuring artifacts from his life and information about his martyrdom and beatification.
