Today we toured the town of Oogolah, the birthplace of Will Rogers. There is really not much to the town, a few blocks along the highway. The main street is very clean and the sculpture of Will Rogers and his horse is at the center of town in the center of a round a bout.

We then went to Clearmore to visit the J.M Davis Arms Museum. This is a fascinating place with all types of guns from all over the world. There is also many other artifacts from the area around Clearmore. One is a stage backdrop depicting all of the sponsors of the facility. Most only had the name of the business while others had a phone number like 46 or maybe 134.

The gun cases were difficult to photograph due to the reflections from other displays. They have thousands of guns from large cannons to the smallest hand guns only a few inches long. There are many guns made in Germany as well as a lot of copies made in Italy.

The guns were separated by style, pistols, shot guns, rifles and a nice selection of swords and other weapons. Then they were separated by manufacturer such as Colt, Winchester, Browning, Stevens, etc. They even have a nice display of Daisy BB guns from over the years.


There are many other displays, one being the actual surrey with a fringe on top from the movie Oklahoma based on a book by Lynn Riggs "Green grow the Lilacs"

This is a museum you could spend hours just reading about the different pieces as well as the general information about the different manufacturers and their involvement in many of the conflicts over the years.

We concluded the day with a treat at Billy Sims BBQ for some delicious BBQ and all the trimmings.
