You will
find in Sayre, Oklahoma the Historic Courthouse featured in the
movie "The Grapes of Wrath" and the Spirit of
the West still evident by cowboys cinched up for a day on the
range. The signs of Old Route 66 will guide
you through Main Street and there you will witness historic
buildings from 1901 to the 1940's being refurbished by
enthusiastic building owners that have an understanding of
the Oklahoma Main Street Program and who support the preservation
of Oklahoma History. Not far to the east of Sayre an
ancient "Buffalo Kill Site" has been discovered and the
ruins of spear heads and buffalo bones are part of an
archeological dig by the University of Oklahoma. This
important piece of history is being offered to the public for
viewing by the Whinery Flying W Guest Ranch where trail rides
and wagon rides can transport you back in time.
The Sayre City Park invites
vacationers to stop and play a game of golf, fish, miniature golf,
or perhaps even catch a rodeo or "play days" in
action. The small RS&K Railroad Museum is bursting at the seams
with railroad memorabilia and is constantly on the schedule of
schools and tourists. Seven countries have been represented in
the visits to the RS&K Railroad Museum.
Visit the Shortgrass Country
Museum Page and read the historical events that brought this
wonderful railroad town to pass.
