Yukon is the hometown of Garth Brooks, one of the best-selling music artists in history and a defining figure of 1990s country music. Brooks grew up here and attended Yukon High School, where he played football and developed his musical interests before heading to Oklahoma State University.
The high school on Cornwell Drive is unassuming, but it draws a steady trickle of fans. A sign outside Yukon marks it as "Home of Garth Brooks." There is no formal museum or landmark dedicated to Brooks in Yukon, but the town embraces the connection cheerfully — look for references in local businesses along Route 66.
