Oklahoma Hall of Fame at the Gaylord-Pickens Museum

About

The Oklahoma Hall of Fame believes there are no limits to what is possible. Every day we celebrate the legacy of inspiring Oklahomans with all generations because Oklahomans are changing the world!

Description

Founded in 1927, the Oklahoma Hall of Fame was created to honor Oklahomans who had given outstanding service to the state during their lifetime and to provide educational programming for students of all ages. Being inducted to the Oklahoma Hall of Fame is the state's highest honor an Oklahoman can receive. Through exhibits and experiences at the Gaylord-Pickens Museum, the Oklahoma Hall of Fame stands to preserve Oklahoma’s unique history while promoting pride in our great state.
The Oklahoma Hall of Fame inspires Oklahomans of all ages, instilling state pride by telling the stories of extraordinary people. Each of our programs strive to accomplish that goal. We have hosted the Oklahoma Hall of Fame Banquet & Induction Ceremony each November for the past 90 years. We honor Oklahomans who have contributed to our state’s rich heritage by making strides in their industry and bettering mankind.
The Oklahoma Hall of Fame also supports education in a variety of ways, including offering more than $4,000,000 intuition grants and scholarships to Oklahoma high school students and hosting Free Field Trips for students from across the state. Oklahoma Hall of Fame Publishing, a program of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, is the leader in publishing Oklahoma's history. At the Gaylord-Pickens Museum, home of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, visitors can meet notable and inspirational Oklahomans through high-tech, interactive exhibits.
Located in Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma Hall of Fame is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization funded solely by private donations and is governed by a Board of Directors representing the state of Oklahoma. In addition, we have a Teen Board that holds a Free Field Trip fundraiser each year and a Second Century Board made up of young professionals responsible for spreading our mission among their peers.



"At the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, we believe there are no limits to what is possible.

We tell Oklahoma's story through its people via free family days, free field trips, book publications/donations, awarding scholarships, statewide educational outreach programs, and inducting amazing Oklahomans into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame annually."

Awesome OKC museum. Wedding and Events also. Visit to see some great OKlahoma history. Large or small events.
Free admission when we visited. Beautiful architecture and portraiture. Enjoyed learning history of individuals we didn't know were from Oklahoma. The interactive picture displays had us laughing and was our favorite!
The halls and rooms are filled with rotating exhibits highlighting the accomplishments of well-known Oklahomans and lesser known heroes. A great place for students to find subjects they might not have considered before. The OHoF also holds an extensive archive of artifacts, photos, letters, and other ephemeral items.Visited onWeekdayWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
We went to Third Thursday which is a free event for kids including book reading and craft project. The kids area was small but the kids played there for several hours. They really enjoyed the stop motion!
Good museum but they can do a lot more. Also some equipment was down and needs fixed. But a very good museum.
My son was married here at the awesome venue. A wonderful event location where they honor the people and history of Oklahoma.
Love this space here at the museum! I have DJ’d over 1000 events and this is a beautiful spot for a wedding or any private event!

Absolutely beautiful historic building with a wonderful collection representing Oklahomans who have contributed to the betterment of the world in a variety of capacities from sports, entertainment, civil rights, medicine, education & business. Every inductee has their portrait or picture somewhere throughout the museum with their name, City & general contribution plus the year inducted into the Oklahoma Hall Of Fame. I think an added touch would be a longer synopsis of what each person did in more detail but I’m the curious type of person that will look them up to find out more information There is an art gallery where the artist exhibits rotate periodically. The current exhibit “Spirit Of Color”, just started and runs to April 30th, 2020. Beautiful art that you can contact the museum about purchasing the items. Originally built in 1926 for the Mid-Continental Life Insurance Company. I love that every door handle still contains the Mid-Continental emblem. The building is absolutely gorgeous, grand staircases on every floor & marble everywhere! You can even rent the location for private events & weddings. Unique venue with lots of beautiful photo opportunities. This was my second time here. It’s a nice way to spend an hour or two browsing around.
