OKLAHOMA STATE SEAL TAKEN 6/11/1910

Today is the anniversary of when the official Oklahoma State Seal was "moved" in the middle of the night from Guthrie and taken by horseback to Oklahoma City, which then became the capitol of Oklahoma. Photographs include:
Row 1: the courthouse in Guthrie, from where the seal was taken
Row 2: the state capitol in Oklahoma City
Row 3: views from inside the dome
Row 4: "The Guardian" statue by Enoch Kelly Haney, which was added to the capitol along with the dome in 2002.

OKLAHOMA CENTENNIAL

The State of Oklahoma culminated a year-long celebration of its Centennial on November 16, 2007. We attended the parade in Guthrie OK (the state's first capitol), went in the Oklahoma Sports Museum (which includes some of my father's memorabilia of the OKC 89'ers) and then walked to a barbecue at Mineral Wells Park (where the original statehood celebration took place).
