## About

Housed inside a magnificent 1936 hand-hewn native stone WPA armory in downtown Edmond, the Edmond History Museum provides a warm, welcoming winter retreat packed with local heritage and interactive play. The museum's centerpiece for young families is the hands-on Children's Learning Center, an imaginative indoor frontier town. Kids can don pioneer bonnets and vests, sit at wooden desks inside a replica one-room 1889 schoolhouse, pump pretend water at the farm kitchen, examine miniature horses in the livery stable, and sell pretend groceries at the general store. Engaging touch-screen displays, vintage telephone exhibits, and rotating community art galleries teach the history of the 1889 Land Run and Route 66 in an approachable, child-centered environment.

• Stroller Accessibility: Completely ADA accessible with level street-level entry, wide museum aisles, and ramped access between historic gallery rooms for strollers.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Climate-controlled comfort with clean restrooms featuring diaper changing tables, comfortable lounge seating in the lobby, and adjacent park benches.
• Age Suitability: Ideal for toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary school children; historic artifacts appeal to parents and grandparents.
• Sensory Tips: Quiet, cozy indoor environment with gentle exhibit lighting and soft carpeted play zones; highly calming museum experience.
