The Hinton Historical Museum is filled to the brim with all types of antiquities and collections, from antique cars to barbed wire to telephones and so much more. Boasting Oklahoma's largest buggy collection and 2nd largest barbed wire ( devil's rope ) collection, one can spend plenty of leisure time browsing these collections... And then there is more... a nice collection of antique cars dating back to Model T's, antique bicycles, household appliances, farm equipment, telephones... I could go on and on.... One of the other aspects that make this such a great visit is the curator, Art Peters. Mr. Peters is like a book of knowledge about the historic California Road. It was a trail that settlers used to make their way across the prairies. The U.S. Cavalry also used this road extensively in their missions. Mr Peters has researched enormous amounts of history, discovered abandoned campsites and towns along the route across Oklahoma. He has collected artifacts long buried at these places and put together an extensive collection at the museum. He has written 2 books, one about the California Road and the other about the mounds of Caddo County which were used as landmarks by travelers. Stop in for a very informative visit. Open Monday Through Saturday... 10 am until 4pm.
