well I was out with the wife trying to decide where to go to take more pictures and she told me about this place called Cherokee strip museum which is a museum dedicated to the land back in the day so it is a cool piece of history as well as a col spot for pictures.
here is the Wikipedia interpretation of what the museum is about
The Land Run of 1893, also known as the Cherokee Strip Land Run, marked the opening to settlement of the Cherokee Outlet, in what would become the U.S. state of Oklahoma. The run began at noon on September 16, 1893, with more than 100,000 participants hoping to claim land. The land offices for the run were set up in Perry, Enid, Woodward, and Alva with over 6.5 million acres (26,000 km²) of land. It was the largest land run in United States history.[1]
The counties of Kay, Grant, Woods, Woodward, Garfield, Noble, and Pawnee, were named following the run. Prior to the run, these seven counties had been assigned the letters K-Q, respectively. Upon Oklahoma's statehood in 1907, four additional counties (Alfalfa, Ellis, Harper, Major) were created in the Cherokee Outlet using existing land from Woods, Kay, and Woodward counties.[2]
