T he Oklahoma Hall of Fame (OHOF) preserves Oklahoma’s unique history while promoting pride in our great state. Through free educational and cultural programs as well as exhibits at the Gaylord-
Pickens Museum, the organization honors the state’s rich tradition by telling Oklahoma’s story through its people. OHOF offers a wide variety of FREE programs, in person and online, that are fun for the whole family, including: • Free Family Fun Days like Spring Thing, Fall Y’all and Summer Thursdays, which feature seasonal crafts and activities, as well as free admission to the museum. • Virtual Discovery Days every Tuesday from 4 to 5 p.m. offer a story time to learn about how one of the Hall of Fame members changed the world. Families can pick up a craft kit ahead of time to join in with the craft. • Free Field Trips for grades K-12 from all schools across Oklahoma. Programs include hands-on learning experiences. • Homeschool Days for children and families from all types of learning environments.
The interactive gallery on the third floor (the Legacy Map) they enjoyed the most. Being able to click on a spot in Oklahoma and see the individuals from there and learn about them really intrigued my students. This interactive part of the exhibit allows for them to learn themselves and read themselves. They loved that part!
