The State Capital Publishing Museum preserves the newspaper and printing world of territorial Guthrie, when the town was Oklahoma's first capital and a place where politics moved quickly through ink, type, and broadsheets. The building and equipment give the historic district a working-media angle beyond architecture alone.
It is a small museum, but a good one for visitors already interested in Guthrie's boomtown years. Pair it with the Oklahoma Territorial Museum and a walk around the downtown brick commercial blocks; together they explain why this modest city has such an outsized historic core.
