Make the Greater Southwest Historical Museum your first stop during your visit to Ardmore. This charming museum is the best place to build up a picture of the history, culture and traditions of Ardmore and the wider south central Oklahoma region. Its varied and carefully thought-out exhibits provide an educational and engaging experience for adults and children. The museum is built across three wings, each focusing on a different area of south central Oklahoma life. Bring kids straight to the central Sam Noble Hall, as this fun and colourful area of the museum is sure to hold their attention. The hall is laid out with replicas of the types of buildings that would have been found in local towns in the late 19th century. Visit a general store, a drug store, a schoolhouse, a post office and a lawyer’s office. See how pioneer families lived at the Eaves/Brady Cabin, an original home built in Pooleville, Oklahoma, in 1892 and transported to the museum. Visit the north wing, which houses the Transportation and Industry Gallery. Learn how improvements in technology changed the way the people of Oklahoma live and travel. See old-fashioned carriages, saddles and industrial equipment, as well as exhibits detailing the history of the railroad. Meanwhile, the south wing of the museum offers insight into typical items found in frontier homes in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Try to imagine who would have owned each item as you view the interesting objects on display. Admire the early fire engine, one of the most impressive and interesting exhibits. Finally, tour the museum’s west wing, which is occupied by the Military Memorial Museum. Learn about south central Oklahoma’s long tradition of military service and see exhibits dating back to the American Revolution, as well as a good collection of modern military uniforms and artifacts from World War II. Find the Greater Southwest Historical Museum in western Ardmore. Visit any day except Sunday or Monday, when the museum is closed.

(389 reviews) I needed a place to stay for my daughter’s cheerleading competition at the 2026 UIL Cheerleading Championship in Fort Worth (January 15–17) and wanted to be closer to the Fort Worth Convention Center. After reading outstanding reviews, I chose The Crescent Hotel in the Cultural District—and it exceeded every expectation. The modern architecture, exquisite interior design, and impressive art collection featuring Pablo Picasso, alongside curated contemporary and Old West pieces, immediately drew me in. The rooms looked exactly like the photos—only better. They blend old-world Western charm with modern, five-star amenities, creating a multisensory experience that feels like an international getaway without needing a passport. Designed as an oasis from the city’s fast pace, the hotel offers both luxury and comfort. Be sure to visit Emilia’s restaurant; it deserves a spot on your “must-do” list. We enjoyed a relaxing and delicious breakfast before heading home. Special thanks to the exceptional team who made our stay memorable: the Valet Department (especially Captain Idris and Mr. Etienne), the Front Desk (Mr. Riley and Ms. Sarah), Room Service’s Ms. Isabella, and Ms. Jacqueline along with the entire Emilia’s staff. I highly recommend The Crescent Hotel for your next visit to Fort Worth—you will not be disappointed!
