About
Schools, homeschool groups, scouts and others can schedule a field trip to the Museum! Explore nearly 9,500-square-feet of memorabilia and artifacts exploring General Tommy Franks' life and career as well as the American military from WWII to the present. Students will see exhibitions with cultural items from around the world, unique military equipment, one-of-a-kind historical photographs, videos and much more. The Museum also houses one of only two Medal of Honor awards in the state of Oklahoma as well as one of the world's largest collections of Challenge Coins. 

​An extension of the Museum, the Lattimore Collection is located in the historic Stanley Building in downtown Hobart, Oklahoma. The Lattimore Collection displays over 40 different taxidermy animals from all over the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and North America. Students can explore the unique collection and learn fascinating details about each of the animals such as where it is from, what it eats, how it lives and more!
​
​Programming   NEW! Children's Scavenger Hunt
With activities suited for grades 1-5, children can explore the Museum with a UV flashlight to uncover glowing stars to help find answers to trivia questions corresponding to exhibits. Plus, there is a coloring activity and word search in the Scavenger Hunt booklet. Children who complete the activities receive their own set of dog tags!

Mobile Classroom + Road Show

The field trip can come to you! The mobile museum is designed to enhance and enrich the learning experience of students. The classroom travels directly to schools where an educator gives guided tours and educational discussions based on a curriculum packet that meets Oklahoma PASS skill requirements for 6th and 7th grade Social Studies. The Road Show encourages critical thinking and discussion beyond the classroom and traditional learning experiences. Learn more about the Mobile Classroom + Road Show here.
