Three Valley Museum
Nancy Ferris
On June 25, 2024, The Three Valley Museum will be celebrating its 20th year at 401 West Main Street in Durant, Okla.
Most of you will remember its humble beginnings in the basement of the Oklahoma Presbyterian College. Though its space was small, I believe the men and women who had the huge task of locating and documenting the many donations and contributions of artifacts for the cause of preservation deserve our utmost respect. Without them, their interest in our history and people, and their dedication to dream of one day having a museum in Durant, our past would be lost.
For all those who managed to write grants, ask for donations, joined our membership, and donated their time to create the museum on Main Street, we should be forever indebted.
We respectfully serve as a keeper of stories and artifacts, and offer a place for visitors to learn more about our city and the area in which we live.
As seen in the list of activities provided, we have opened our doors and our talents to the community. We are not the seemingly sleepy little storefront on the corner, but in fact, a 12,000 square foot facility filled with exhibits and items that depict the dreams and successes of those who came before us.
We invite you to visit us on June 25 at 5 p.m. as we celebrate the Museum on Main.
