The Oklahoma Country & Western Music Hall of Fame is a small but enthusiastic institution dedicated to the state's deep roots in country and western music. Oklahoma has produced a remarkable number of significant country artists, and this museum in Del City makes the case for the state's contribution to the genre with memorabilia, photographs, and rotating exhibits.
The museum also hosts live bluegrass and country music events, which are often the best reason to visit. Check ahead for the performance schedule, as events vary by season. It is a niche stop, but for fans of traditional American music it is genuinely worthwhile — and very much off the mainstream tourist circuit.
